Bosch TS1004 Table Saw Dust Collector Bag

 (76 customer reviews)

I was apprehensive about this collection bag based on the reviews. However, for the price, and because I was generating a lot of saw dust, I decided to give it a try. I do have a rather powerful shop vacuum that I would sometimes attach to the saw for larger jobs, but that was always a hassle, and particularly for those occasional short cuts. So, I decided to try this dust bag.

To my pleasant surprise, it has worked very well. Apparently, Bosch has made some improvements since other reviews were written, since the bag I received was made of heavy cloth material and has a nice zipper in the bottom for easy saw dust removal. The bag collects virtually ALL the saw dust that goes through the dust port, and only when the neck of the bag got inadvertently restricted by the power cord did it ever clog up. On the occasions when I've attached the shop vacuum, I really have to say that I don't think it collected much more saw dust than this simple (and inexpensive) dust bag...Read more

This is a simple bag that's about 12" by 30" inches or so with a wire clip that goes around the dust port. It works pretty well in that everything expelled from the dust port goes into the bag, which is emptied by just shaking the sawdust out through the same opening.All together it catches about 80 percent of the sawdust - about what one would expect. The cloth is a thin synthetic and there is no zipper or velcro to make it easier to empty.

This well-made dust collector for the Bosch Table Saw appears to be made of nylon and cotton and attaches to the dust port at the rear of the saw. It has a zippered bottom, and does collect sawdust. It is not as good as connecting to a shop vac but even with a shop vac you will still have sawdust to pick up--with any make of "job-site" saw. I frequently use my saw in a garage so I use the dust collector and I also place a cardboard box under the saw. A great deal of the sawdust goes into the box, quite a bit goes into the Bosch dust collector, and a goodly amount will still be all over the floor. This is the way with all saws of this type. The price was great $10.99, and I ordered it with a saw thus avoiding any shipping fees or sales tax. I do recommend this accessory as it is a help. I ordered it on January 30, with a delivery date on or before February 14. I received it before February 10. It was well-packed. I am more than happy with Amazon and Bosch.
