Learn how to add 4 different shop-made dust collection upgrades to your table saw. These upgrades go a long way in reducing clean up time and making your shop a healthier place. Make your table saw a clean, mean sawing machine!

Dust collection is an important part of any woodworking shop. The table saw is notorious for creating a lot of dust in the shop and is a machine that needs some extra attention. A lot of the newer table saw models have some good built-in dust collection features but saws that are a little older don't have these features. This video shows how to make 4 different dust collection upgrades to a Delta contractors saw. The upgrades can be applied to just about any style of table saw though to improve your dust collection.

The upgrades shown include a dust tray in the bottom of the saw, enclosure panel on the back of the saw, custom cut foam to seal smaller openings, and a shop-built overarm dust collector. This overarm collector captures the dust that spits off the back of the blade which is often the most difficult to collect.
