How do I collect dust from my circular saw?

Question

The last time I used my circular saw, it sent dust flying everywhere. I tried attaching the "exhaust" to my vacuum cleaner hose, but the hose gets blown off. I've scoured the shops and the internet for a dust bag but cannot find one.

Can anyone give me a practical suggestion, please?

I'll need the same solution for using my sander.

Answer 1

you need to clamp the hose on to get it to stay,vacuum was best choice...........tom

Answer 2

Try a vacuum cleaner & duct tape !!

Answer 3

Is there a circular whole at the base of the saw.

If so you can buy a little extracter fan which you attach to the back and suck all the dust into a bag.

Take a look  at the pics at the bottom of this page.

Answer 4

try a shop vac and attach it near blades--just a thought not knowing all details of equipment

Answer 5

my husband and i used a saw indoors - we used an old sheet and some chairs to rig a collection area- it worked by keeping the sawdust confined - those collection bags really don't work - try this, it can't hurt and it doesn't cost anything.

Answer 6

saw outside

Answer 7

you need a bag that lets air out but keeps dust in try using a sock
