I have had these on several saws and it drastically reduces the dust I have to clean up. There are copies of these that are not near the quality and functionality. Don't ask me how I know.....
Michael P.
Got it installed in short order, but havent actually tried it out yet. It has to be better than Bosch's ramshackle useless dust "spreading" system!!0
Eric S.
I absolutely love it! Saw dust has always been a big problem at my miter saw station. This upgrade has made a massive difference at helping keep the area clean. I have been watching Shop Nation since the beginning, and it’s really cool to finally have a little Shop Greatness myself. Thank you Travis and team.

I likely won’t recommend this product. The dust collector was easy enough to install on my miter saw. The dust collection, however, was not nearly as good as I expected. In my opinion, the rubber shroud at the bottom of the device was not low enough to capture as much sawdust as it could have. I was able to improve the collection by replacing the shroud with a longer piece of rubber.
Jeffrey W.
Great product - well designed - high quality. The only issue was installation, but not because of Shop Nation or the product - only because of the Bosch design and the pesky shaky hand of an old man trying to center-in on the screws! Thanks for a super helpful upgrade.
David F.
Great product, high quality, prompt delivery. It definitely greatly reduces the saw dust issue with my Bosch 12” compound miter saw. Thank you.

I learned about this product when reading a woodworking blog. I thought I would give it a try and I'm glad I did. It doesn't collect all the dust but it certainly collects a lot more than the original equipment on my Bosch 12" sliding miter saw. It was easy to put on. I watched the video on you-tube. If you want to get rid of more sawdust...this will definitely help.
Matthew R.
It works OK, not much better if any better at all than the set up I had before. There’s still a ton of dust that scoops underneath the dust collection. It needs a flexible flap that extends down from the underside to allow catching suction over a broader area. The catching of the dust just isn’t that impressive.
Daniel J.
well made; quick shipping; easy install
Richard T.
Installation was straightforward. Video instructions were clear, and this Bosch miter saw being new, very informative.
My expectations were exceeded on every level. Great product!
Steve H.
Works as advertised. Will significantly help dust collection on my mitersaw.
Pat R.
Easy installation and implementation. Would buy again.

Detracting three stars for three reasons:
1. Loss of original functionality.
The factor dust collector on this Bosch saw features Bosch's click and clean dust host connection, which works very well for Bosch vacuums.
Some of us, you know, have Bosch vacuums to go with our Bosch saws.
So why on earth doesn't shop nation include a click and clean connector option? Very frustrating.
2. More Loss of functionality: Because there is no click and clean connector option, I can no long use the stock collector bag when I'm on the jobsite without a vacuum. Which actually collects a surprising amount of dust when no shop vac is available.
3. Not a noticeable improvement in actual dust collection. Maybe 10%? It may work better on certain types of cuts, but across all types of cuts (including those where I have to remove this one because it blocks my cut capacity) overall collection is about the same as stock.
Will probably remove. I was expecting night and day difference, and did not get it or anything close.
Since I was spammed with requests for a review, here it is.

Does what it supposed to do

My miter saw sits right beside the door to my workshop, and my old saw left a ton of sawdust on the floor and everywhere else, even hooked to a vacuum. So when a good deal came along on the Bosch 12” miter saw recently, I upgraded. I had heard about this enhanced dust collection add-on for the Bosch saw, and that’s a big reason I made the switch. I ordered the Shop Nation enhanced collection chute when I bought the saw, and I am amazed at how much of the dust hits the vacuum now instead of the floor. Honestly, it does an even better job than I hoped it would. I’m very pleased with the result and found it pretty easy to install.
Jean Marc D.
Easy to install, good upgrade compared to original setup.
David M.
Showed up quickly and attached easily with great instructions.
John P.
I've paired mine with the Dust Collection Throat Plate from Inspire Woodcraft, a Ridgid 3 gal. 5 HP vacuum, and a Dust Deputy Low-Pro as a dedicated dust collection system. Is it perfect? No, of course not. I didn't expect it to be. But it is leaps and bounds better than the stock setup. Now my shop looks like an actual woodworker uses the place and not some post-apocalyptic wasteland that squatters use from time to time. The fit and finish are top-notch. Well done Travis and the Shop Nation team! I am one step closer to Shop Greatness! (Too much? Too cheesy? lol...)
Craig S.
Needing to do something about the mess in my garage I turned to these guys for their custom mitre saw attachments. I have a bosch 12" glide miter saw. I figured the dust collector would improve the mess but man, it's really great. I paired it with a DeWalt Stealth Sonic 12 gallon vacuum and it's like there's no dust anymore from my mitre station. As long as you remember to turn on the vacuum before you cut. But yeah, if you're on the fence, just grab one.
James D.
I have to say I am extremely impressed with my new Shop Nation dust collection modification for my Bosch Miter Saw. Installation instructions were clear, that screw that is referred to as being difficult was indeed so, but that's on Bosch, not Shop Nation.
Dust collection is greatly improved, to the point that I am probably going to do away with the ugly enclosure I had put together to try taming the beast. Thank you Shop Nation, great product!

Daniel O.
Easy to install and definitely picks up way more dust when cutting. Only wish it came with two Shop Nation stickers. One for the tool and one for my wall of favorite wood working tool stickers.
Peter G.
Works better than I expected Rey minimal clean up
Frank G.
Installed the shop nation dust chute, and increased dust collection by 85% from the stock dust collection. Dust hose routing is a little crude but works until I get a more permanent solution. Frank G
Robert G.
My 2rd order, loved every one
James P.
Works great! Thanks.
Kevin T.
Great product! This should be standard on all saws. Easy to follow instructions. Cuts down the dust tremendously.
Jon J.
Easy to install and very effective.
Jerry B.
I would have given 5 stars, but my order was missing a part (the small blue part). I had to cobble up the connection to fit my dust collection hose. All that said, I really like the system. It works really great. I would buy again (hopefully, getting all the pieces).
I didn’t send the product back because I didn’t want to go through all the hassle.
Thanks, for an otherwise excellent product. JB
Brian C.
Dust collection wise this product works about as well as one could hope attached to a saw notorious for spewing dust, and better than anything else I've seen. In fact this is my third chute installed on the same saw. The first was broken by an employee, the second I broke myself. Both incidents were the result of an improperly (un)restrained workpiece introduced to the saw. Neither failure was due to any shortcoming of the product. Both were impact failures which leads me to wonder if the construction could be beefed up or made of more resilient plastic. Only other quibble is that the rubber skirt interferes with the use of a zero clearance auxiliary table and fence. Still trying to improve that compatibility.
Donald K.
Everything went just like You said it would. I would just like to find some broom bristles for the bottom of the chute to catch more dust and not interfere with cut pieces. A better selection of adapters for shop vacs
would also be nice. My small shop vac hose is too small for the small adapter and my 2" large shop vac connector is too big for your adapter. Duct Tape is the missing link in both cases.
Bob J.
The instructions showed attaching the short hose to the power cord on the left side. I wanted to use my large dust collector instead. By routing the short hose over the arm, I added a 2.5 in. hose and a Magfitt connection.
Corbin S.
Wire to motor in the way on my 12" saw. Unable to remove OEM bracket to install.
James S.
The chute definitely improves dust collection and works best on stock that is 1” or less. The installation video was very helpful but two of the screws on my saw apparently had thread lock on them. I had to virtually destroy the screws to get them out.
Lance N.
Fitted perfectly and installation was simple. Looks like it was always part of the saw with the colour coding. So much more efficient in dust collection than original. Very happy with this addition.
Charles M.
After I hook it up I did not use the saw until today. The dust collection was fantastic. The amount of dust that was not collected looked to be like your demonstration. There was so little that I was extremely happy. Thamk you very much for your system.
Mark W.
Honest, I haven't used this much yet. I had a small issue when installing it, but it was a silly error on my part. When I completed the installation and tested it, it looked like it's going to work out well. The only "negative" I'm concerned about is that it doesn't look like it would work well with a zero clearance rear fence because of the width of the unit.
Thomas C.
Product works as advertised. Excellent dust collection on a notoriously dust manufacturing tool. Excellent fit and finish with good video assembly instructions.
Herman A.
Easy to install and noticeable change in suction capabilities. Game changer!
Jose S.
The design is good, but it isn't durable; it breaks easily.
Brice R.
It only works if you have a small cut to make, but if you need to glide the saw, the dust comes from the end of the Throat Plate and into the wall.
Robert S.
Works as it should, easy to install, all parts worked.
Leo K.
The installation video does a great job of walking you through the install. I've only had it for 2 weeks so it is too early to give a full assessment but it does a pretty good job of collecting saw dust (compared to the std Bosch system). I will still need to partially box out the back section of my miter saw to help contain the dust. So far, I'm happy to have spent the money and time to install this dust collection kit. It feels robust. I like that the rubber dust shield uses screws to hold it in the housing. I have found glue is not a very good solution (learned the hard way using a different system). Plus, the kit comes with a backup shield for the future!
Dan D.
This is a great product. It gets 85 to 90 percent of the saw dust from my cuts.
This is the second one I’ve purchased.
Love it!
Bruce G.
Significant upgrade from the oem dust collection chute. I have very little dust with most cuts on my Bosch 10".
Jeffrey K.
Fits the saw great. I haven't had much time to use the saw with the new dust collection chute, but with the few cuts I made the saw dust was greatly reduced.
PAUL D.
I'm having a family member 3D print me a mount for the hose and a 2 1/2" adapter that works , then I'll install. As of now I'm waiting so as not to disrupt use.
Daren D.
It was a fairly easy install, however my model was one of the ones that Bosch used locktite on the screws. So that was more of a pain. Managed get them out without stripping the heads. Install was much easier, looks good and works great.
James W.
Went as it said it would
Marc T.
Perfect fit and better than the original.
John L.
This improves the dust collection on my Bosch tremendously. Great product!
Gregory S.
Critical upgrade for any miter saw used in a shop.
Rex M.
Fit was great and installation was very simple
scott t.
It really works. Gets 95% plus of all sawdust. Just outstanding.
Scott P.
The dust collection chute was so easy to install on my Bosch miter saw, thanks to the excellent video instructions. And more importantly, my saw now hardly throws out any sawdust when I make cuts. This product is outstanding.
Donatas B.
Huge difference
Patrick D.
installation was as easy as the video indicated and the dust collection results using a shop vac were worth the effort. Thanks
John O.
Improvement over stock dust collection for crosscutting general lumber like 2x4 . If all you are doing with your saw is crosscutting 2x4, then this is perfect. But not really worthwhile if cross cutting 4x4 or making any other type of cut, because you need to remove it in order to make the cuts. . Maybe including a second smaller one that functions similar to original, but allows ease of replacement and customization of length of rubber skirt would help make this a more useful product. Also zip tying vacuum pipe is ok, but a more refined design to attach and better support the weight of the vacuum hoses is needed in future versions. Consider taking some of the design cues from the original Bosch dust system at the top. Lot of stress zip tying around cord had to zip tie around frame as well and now all that weight and stress is carried by small flexible vacuum hose. Please refine further and get the design across the finish line. So close. Thank you for your efforts thus far to address the problem. Regards, John
Peter T.
Easy to install on my saw and reduces dust considerably. I combine it with a hood around the saw and get basically zero dust.
JD W.
Works awesome!! I have used your products in the past. Great quality! A++
Colin G.
Easy install great YouTube instructions well made does an admirable job
David R.
Nice fit and finish; early take is it is quite effective at capturing majority of dust. Great instruction video. Appears that it may interfere with thicker lumber, as it hangs down lower than stock, although in fairness I haven't thoroughly tested that yet. I would note that it will be very easy to remove, so I will remove only the sides of my dust collection "backstop", to allow for easy use of tilt and swing functions, but will leave the balance of the backstop so I can use the saw without the Shop Nation collector when necessary, and still capture much of the dust.
Valerie S.
Purchased this for my husband's workshop and he LOVES
it. He said the installation process was excellent. Fit is flawless (his words). It claims to pick up 80% more dust and it actually does. He said he would highly recommend it. Shipping was fast. Great price. We will definitely be purchasing from your company in the future. Thanks
John K.
I had an older chute for my old Makita and I replaced that with the Bosch. I tryed a tent like contraction , expensive and I was dissatisfied but so far this has worked pretty well so I guess time will tell. But at this point it seems to work well
Scott P.
Haven't really used it much, but it is definitely a big improvement over OEM dust collection. Install video was clear and extremely helpful
LYLE H.
Setup was easy and it improved dust collection by 85-90%. It is a huge improvement!
Robert W.
It’s way better than the stock DC.
JAMES RICHARD T.
Easy to install, and the amount of dust collected is unreal.
Alexandro B.
It works excellent it improved my dust collection
Carolyn R.
Greatly improves dust collection for the compound miter saw. Love this after-market imrpovement.
MIKE J.
It works to perfection‼️ Assembly was easy—just as shown on videos. Surpassed all expectations. Hope to find more products from SHOP NATION in the future
Andy
Added the upgraded dust collection to my bosch miter saw with a bit of skepticism. I was wrong. Huge upgrade and I now have fantastic dust collection on the saw. Well worth it! Thank you!
Eric M.
This is an excellent addition to my miter saw! The improvement over the original is evident with every cut! It is a must have for reducing dust!
Joe R.
After trying 5 other solutions, I decided to give this a try. It doesn’t happen as often as it should, but this product is better than advertised. Very happy.
Frank K.
Easy install. Tip: you’ll need to work around the power cord on the right side when removing the existing parts. Be mindful not to damage the cord. My Philips screwdriver is relatively new and the sides started to cuts into the sheathing. Easy to overlook if you don’t notice it.
Much better dust collection compared to stock.
Jeremy H.
I ordered the Bosch dust chute for the 12" sliding miter saw and it works great! You can tell a difference if you do not have powerful suction hooked up to it. Overall it was a good purchase and definitely cuts down on the amount of sawdust from the saw.
Dana O.
Delivery and packaging was good. Instructions were great, and the parts are high quality!
Michael L.
Absolutely amazing! Works wonderful money. Well spent, thank you. Shop Nation
Dan N.
Love it! It works great!
scott t.
Website was not clear when I purchased by dust collection system and I bought the wrong one. It took five days to have someone look at the problem and tell me to re-order the 10 in system. Shipping takes way to long with no options to rush orders. I cannot comment on the product yet as the first one did not fit. I will have to wait until I install the 10 in system to see if it improves dust collection. So far this has been frustrating.
Tom S.
Easy to install, seems to be effective, time will tell.
Jason J.
From the time of looking at, buying, shipping and installation was a painless decision and a great product to add to my saw. I would easily say that my dust collection has increased by 80-90%. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.
Steve K.
I broke off the threaded portion of the dust collection chute body trying to remove the hard tube I installed instead of the flexible tube. I Super Glued it back together and later threaded on the flexible tube. It's holding together so far. Doesn't work well on 4 X 4's but dust collection on 4/4 and 6/4 material is greatly improved.
John M.
Overall, the dust collection on my saw is much better than before. Installation was straightforward, following the video instructions. The parts seem well made, so it should last. My only gripes are that the supplied zip-ties were inadequate to secure the hose in the position I wanted, and the outlet should have come with an elbow. It also didn't fit my hose, but nothing ever does, so I don't fault SN for that. I managed to make my own attachment with stronger zip-ties, and 3D printed an elbow that fits my hose better. I love this setup!
Bruce C.
Seems to work well
Wayne G.
Fit perfect. Much better than the factory piece. Thank you!!
will h.
This dust chute is a must have upgrade for your BOSCH miter saw! Great design and very easy install.
Anh N.
I installed it on my Bosch 10-Inch Dual-Bevel Glide Miter Saw. The dust collection intake works very well, but I’m not a fan of the output port mounting method, which relies on a couple of zip ties. The video shows it being zip-tied to a section of the power cable, causing the output port to move along with the glide action of the saw. I’m not sure why the design didn’t make use of the existing mounting holes. I also dislike that I can no longer use the original dust bag because of the excessive movement of the output port.
James P.
Impressed with how much dust this thing picks up
Ray C.
What a difference a year makes! You can hear the vacuum at the intake near the blade. Great inprovement over the OEM nonsense.
