Almost every circular saw has an outlet for ejecting chips during operation. Typically, an intake from a specialized vacuum cleaner designed for collecting technical waste in large volumes is connected to it.
Naturally, most carpenters do not have such an expensive vacuum cleaner. But there is a simpler way out of this situation: use a plastic canister as a dust collector.
Will need
- Thin-walled plastic canister with a wide neck. Typically these are used for water or milk.
- PVC adapter.
- The coupling is any of the available ones.
Making a dust container from a plastic canister
The dust collector will be made for such a circular saw.

She throws out the chips herself through the pipe.

In addition to the chips, it is necessary to ensure gentle air movement. To do this, drill small holes at the base in one side with a thin drill.

It is necessary to select an adapter of the appropriate diameter for the neck of the canister. With today's selection in plumbing stores, this is not at all difficult. We put the adapter on the canister.

Now to connect all this to the circular saw you need to use a rubber coupling.It also needs to be selected.

To securely connect the canister with the PVC adapter, glue the connection with hot glue.

We put our dust collector on the output pipe of the saw.

Nothing gets in the way underneath. Even more convenient than using a vacuum cleaner hose.
And here is the result. Almost all the shavings settled in the canister.

This dust collector is easy to remove and put on. You can use it anywhere. And a transparent plastic water bottle, naturally with its own selected adapters and couplings, is also suitable as a canister.

In the example, it is imperative to use thin-walled containers, since they are light and will not create unnecessary load on the tool, and will hold securely without falling off the pipe.
