Bosch GCM 12 GDL mitre saw dust collection

[John Brough]

I havbe a Bosch GCM 12 GDL band saw bought specifically for space saving. I love it but the dust extraction is hopeless. Has anyone made improvements to theirs?

same as my big DeWalt.....I dont bother if it's just the odd chop....
my chopsaw is on wheels so cant provide a better fixed funnel...
but for bigger jobs I make up a cardboard funnel and use the dust extractor.......
for airbourne dust I use my homemade extractor....

My Bosch is also rather dusty, if I am doing a lot of cutting I wheel it in front of my planer and cable tie the 120mm pipe to the saws fence, it picks most of the dust.
