The collector was straightforward to install thanks to the video guide and it works amazingly well
Scott H.
Product showed up well packaged and with easy instructions available online with their QR code. Product greatly increases the dust collection on my saw and I highly recommend it. I did have some challenges removing the old dust shoot as one of the screws on my Bosch sliding miter saw was a bit challenging to take out. I’m currently using it with a dust extractor and I’m curious if it would be even better with my full-size dust collector.
Luke k.
Just buy it. You won’t regret it. Great purchase. Great quality. Does exactly as described.
Ryan B.
Dust collection worked well, but on my first day of use a piece of material kicked back and the whole unit exploded into pieces. Not really a knock on the dust collection function, more on the quality and durability of material. The kick back was my fault and bad luck but I would have hoped the dust collector could withstand a little more inevitable shop abuse.
Michael P.
I am so glad to get rid of the Bosch original chute. They should be ashamed. The Shop Nation replacement is great.
Brian K.
As a contractor over 40 years of service and looking for a nozzle for my Bosch saw and seeing your advertisement and then when I receive the package it was nothing like you advertise and basically what I call that is false advertisement so and and then my son realized that it was done on a 3D printer or something to that effect yeah it works it's not how I expected it to be at all from what the instructions were in the video was that was sent with it was nothing how what I've got with the product does it suck the dirt does it suck the dust does it leave any residue yes it does does it work completely no it does not so that's why I gave it a two-star rating
Jared S.
The installation video on YouTube made it simple, and I am pleased with the results. I will say that while cutting 4x4s or large material, the flexible chute bends in a way that throws sawdust laterally, but I think if I modify one of the 2 provided it should fix the issue. I definitely notice the increased dust management on smaller materials. Great product, great fit!
Sicinski L.
Works and fits great.
Jorge F.
It works great! This combined with "Inspired woodworking" Dust Collection Throat Plate leaves minimal dust to be cleaned up. Very happy with this purchase.
Luke
Excellent quality. Express delivery. Fully recomend.
Charles S.
Easy to install. Collects most of the dust even without the vac hooked up. My only suggestion is to use metal grommets in the body to attach it to the saw. I used super glue on the screw threads.
Anthony F.
My workshop has never been this clean. This product was super easy to install mainly because of the the simple step by step installation video provided by shop nation.
Johnson D.
Have not installed it yet. If it deserves more stars I’ll let you know
Franklin R.
I won’t know how it works until I find some adapters to fit my vacuum
Sean D.
I am very impressed with this design and fabrication. The fit is perfect, the materials are robust and installation is a breeze.
Once installed, which only takes minutes, the dust collection is far far better than the factory system. I'd say literally 90% better than the original. Its quite impressive.
I had to get used to the rubber flap as it seemed like it was going to interact with the blade when cutting over sized pieces, but it never did and really helps the dust collection system be efficient.
I am super impressed at all levels with the product, ordering and shipping.
Daren L.
So much better than the Mk 1 version, with the flexible shute the dust collector does not fall off now. I just need to work out what to do with the 1st version now.
George S.
This is my second dust collection chute from Shop Nation. I had bought one for my Dewalt 12" Miter saw and it worked so well i needed to get one for my Bosch 12" Glide saw when I decided to upgrade. Dust collection is a big upgrade from the standard supplied by the manufacturer. I needed to get an extension hose after the fact due to the setup I was using this for (poor planning on my part). So if you have a plan in place for the shop vac/dust extractor connection, make sure you have enough hose (or buy the extended hose at the same time).
Willard G.
This item is as big a failure as the last one I purchased. It leaves behind too much sawdust especially for the cost of the product. I’m using a Bosch GSM 12SD Miter Saw and honestly I could understand some sawdust being left behind but I have seen setups like this on Makers World work far better and for free or the cost of the filament to print it which is negligible. I will not be participating with this company in the future and plan to pass my sentiments to fellow woodworkers.
Susan E.
1000% improvement in dust collection! Easy to install and works amazinglly well.
Thomas T.
Easy to install and better than OEM. Hardest part was routing the hose to it, fortunately the Rockler 2-1/2 inch hose fits onto the larger adapter.
Gregory P.
Was well-made and easy to install. Haven’t done a lot of cutting with it yet, but I’m sure it’s a lot better than the stock collection system.
Greg S.
As advertised, the parts assembled and fit well. Clear instructions. A vastly improved dust collection system. Thank you.
MICHAEL L.
Im always skeptical about ads on social media. I took a chance on this one.
I put this on my Bosch 10" saw and it's like night and day. It's so good I bought 2 more for my Skill 10" saws I use in the field.
Kent S.
Had to replace it after a piece of wood kicked back, but love the product so bought another.
Gary S.
Great product, easy install.
John P.
The dust collector fits perfectly and works very well. Very happy with the purchase and the installation video was very clear and helpful.
Thomas G.
Works great! Fits well! Great instructions, too.
Michael H.
I received the item in a timely manner. The installation video was most helpful. The supplied adapters provided an easy connection to my dust collection system. Overall, I’m very pleased with the purchase.
Thomas F.
The installation process was very easy, just followed the video instructions.
Tom B.
Love these things. Had another one for my dewalt. Keeps my shop nice and clean.
william m.
Better than the first one i had
Duncan M.
Totally broke apart. Rubber piece does go far enough in to hold it. A waste of money
Peter K.
It picks up the sawdust that the one that came with the saw missed....many thanks
Joseph C.
Definite improvement over the stock dust chute.
Mark D.
A great product and superior service. Thanks
Joshua B.
It seems to do a pretty good job of dust collection. I appreciate that the rubber flap is quit precisely sized so it’s as big as it can be without possibility of getting hit by the blade.
It does interfere with cutting sometimes on wide, thick boards.
I do not like the method for securing the hose end by zip-tying it to the power cable I do not like it at all.. The connection to the vacuum flops around all over the place. I would love to see a much more rigid mounting bracket that attaches in the screw hole for the power cable clamps.
Jarrod M.
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.
Edward S.
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.
George B.
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.
Jon S.
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.
Chad A.
Does what it supposed to do
William B.
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!
J. Davis
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
