i tried a fish tank pump on my old saw with the same results.i think if you put something on the end of the hose that will make a tiny hole in it like the top point of a pen it might work better.

Good idea, I'll try it.

I got one of those pumps just the small one for like 6 bucks and put it on my crasftman saw and it works pretty good better than the one that was on it. On mine the hose ran all part of the way down the articulating pipeing, so I ran the new hose all the way down to the end, don't if the dewalt is setup like this or of it has a nipple end on it to put the hose on.

I bought my pump from Walmart also, I put a 1/4" piece of brass tubing in the end and pinched it down to force more air pressure when it comes out. Works pretty good
