Hi guys
Just looking into a way to get the installs cleaner and think it can be done without spending 1500.00 on the festool saws. What do you think ?

That seems like a pretty good idea. At the moment, I'm leaning toward a husky 10 inch chop saw . It has a pretty decent dust chute behind the blade and maybe a rigid shop vac . Although I know that wont be a dustless combination.

Bosch has a new one out with a neato hinge instead of a rail, plus the blade is all covered pretty well with a dust shute. Runs about $800

Looks pretty neat .How's your dustless canister vacuum ? I imagine it runs cleaner than a typical shop vac ?

the Cav 8 by Clark will be your best price point advantage for power tools and reliability.

obviously anything by Bosch, CDC La Rue and Festool will be ultimate but they are pricy and you dont need it for a chop saw and the like.

grinding concrete and sanding different animal

My Dustless works great when I buy the cloth like bags that dustless makes. The paper ones at the box stores suck. And the vac has two other filters in it that are washable. I also grind concrete and it barely makes any dust. I can have like 20 pounds of concrete dust in it before I need to change it out.

I'm dying for a decent miter saw myself. I always do coping on my corners but my old chop saw has seen better days.
