If you have a benchtop tablesaw or contractor saw with no dust port, the Dust Cutter II will help you breathe easier.
The Dust Cutter II is basically a zippered nylon bag that attaches to the bottom of a benchtop or contractor tablesaw with hook-and-loop fasteners. You also could mount it permanently through the existing bolt holes in the saw’s base. Installation took me less than 30 minutes.

Suction helps.

The Dust Cutter II works best when hooked up to a vacuum or dust collector.

The manufacturer mentions three ways to catch dust with the bag. You can simply let it collect in the bag and empty it using the zipper, or you can leave the bag unzipped and let the dust drop into a container placed under the saw. However, with both of those options, a lot of sawdust simply goes airborne. The best method is to hook up a dust collector or shop vacuum to the 21/2-in.-dia. dust port on the bag. In that mode, the Dust Cutter II is a great tool to help control dust on benchtop and contractor tablesaws.

Shop Fox W1826

The thick, felted bag on this Shop Fox is a plus and a minus. On one hand, it makes the unit much less expensive than collectors with canister filters, and also lighter and easier to hang on the wall. Without a separate plastic bag to catch chips, however, they stay in the felt bag, and the shortish zipper on the bottom makes it tough to shake them out. Otherwise, the W1826 is an excellent value.
