Picked this up to help dust collection on my DWS716, to be frank, I'm floored at the improvement in dust collection. The stock dust collection chute was so bad that I often times just stop using the vac all together with the miter and would just wheel it outside. I ran a few test cuts and there is an initial poof of dust when the blade plunges into the wood, however everything after that is picked up.
In regards to install, it took about 15m. The hardest part is just working the screws loose in a tight space with your knuckles close to the blade. All things said, it was a VERY easy install and money well spent.
Richard A.
I am really happy with the dust collection modification. The item was well packaged, has great quality, and I would buy it again should I get another saw.
Mike L.
My use for this is beyond cutting one bys or two bys, or even a four by, I’m an artist and cut log sections so it doesn’t capture all the sawdust in that application. But for regular work it’s great.
Ambrose T.
I am a retired woodworking teacher and cabinet maker. I tried several times to build a better dust collector for my 715 dewalt miter saw. Your product catches about 80% of the sawdust. I am very pleased.
Calvin S.
The adapter fit well and works better than the factory version. The only issue I had was the rubber dust shoot was too short to reach the end of the slot, but I happened to have some gasket material that matched, so cut a new one that fit perfectly. The one in the kit was 5/8 to short so the screws would not make contact on the ends.
Patrick H.
Very easy to install, sits perfectly on my mitersaw. Definitely improved the dust collection! Love the feature of the hose port is flexible.

Shop Nation:
My initial reaction when seeing your product, the “Dust Collector System” for Mitre Saws, I was pleased to see that someone was finally trying to do something about the dust that comes with using a Mitre Saw. In fact, I was so impressed with what I saw and read that I decided to purchase the “DW715/716 12” Non-Sliding Miter Saw Dust Collection System”. I must admit that I was a little disappointed with the amount of time between the time I placed the order and the time I received the product. Once the order was processed, I did receive a notification and provided with a tracking number. As I was anxious to receive the product, I tried to track the delivery of the product, but I got very little if any information at all. I must admit the tracking information provided by your supplier was not the best as it provided little or no information or the information was not updated very often by your tracking provider. However, that said when I got the item, I did do the assembly as per the video instructions and I must admit it went very well and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. While I did have some questions with the installation, I did contact Shop nation’s Customer service and got all of the answers that I needed and was able to “SUCCESSFULLY complete the installation of the “DW715/716 12” Non-Sliding Miter Saw Dust Collection System” onto my Dewalt716 Miter saw. I was more astounded and ecstatic about how well the Dust Collector System performed on my initial 10 test cuts that I did with hardly any sawdust on the Mitre Saw itself or the work area around the Mitre saw. WHAT A FANTASTIC PRODUCT!!!! Wow thanks very much for creating this product, it will make a lot of DIYer’s very happy, I know I am ONE! I cannot say enough about the Customer services’ help that I received in helping to answer questions that I had about the “DW715/716 12” Non-Sliding Miter Saw Dust Collection System and its installation.
I have used the product, and it works I am very happy with it and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve “Dust Collection and Control” for their Mitre Saw. For your benefit, I have attached a few photos of the installed product.
Stephen M.
Incredible! I hope you’ve applied for a patent. It exceeded expectations and solved the biggest problem in my small shop. The photos show the area after I made 10 cuts in a scrap piece of 2 X 4, no cleanup necessary.
Thank you.
Renwick M.
Everything went as advertised. Easy installation and works great. A big improvement.
Mitch F.
Although this fits, I had to fiddle with it quite a bit; not sure if this was a defective unit or not. Had a project and wanted to try it and got it to work.
Even if this fit is wrong, it was worth the cost. Dust really only escapes at the beginning of a cut and after that nearly everything is captured. This was a massive improvement over the stock setup!
MICHAEL S.
I bought Shop Nation DW716 model for my DW706 saw, even though Travis warns on website that it won't fit. Undeterred, (as an inventor myself, creator of the How Far Out level survey gauge and 1-Fence System), I fashioned a 1/2" spacer/interface between the hub adapter and machine casting to reposition the exit tube correctly for my model. (My spacer basically replicated the overall shape and interface details of the hub adapter to create the needed 1/2" shim space.)
The results are fantastic --- so effective that by attaching a 2" vac hose to the small flexible hose and adapter provided, I was surprised to find that this product works even WITHOUT vacuum suction! The force of the sawdust stream is so focused and powerful where the flow enters the boot that when I inserted the exit end of the extended hose into a small garbage can next to the saw, almost ALL the sawdust streamed straight into the can, with zero blockage of the pathway through the hoses.
ShopNation is working on a DW706 specific model, so probably better to wait for what I am sure will be an excellent product, but frankly, I doubt it will perform any better than my adaptation of the DW716 model.
The concept and execution details of the Shop Nation Dust Collection Boot are brilliant. I could not recommend it more highly.
Jeff W.
Fits like a glove … the hardest part of the install was getting the factory screws out … huge dust collection improvement.
Jess B.
Pulls in the dust great!
Kenneth R.
The instruction video was spot on, works awesome. All in all, a very pleasant transaction.
Paul R.
Long story but I ordered the wrong model and the wrong adaptor. It was my fault.
Travis and cust service were really nice about it. They sent me the right stuff quickly.
It works great!
It’s awesome to see the dust disappear up the shoot instead of everywhere.
As you can see in photos I used the dewalt box as a shroud as well.
Between my DIY shroud and Shop Nations device the dust is well contained
Thanks Travis and Shop Nation cust service!
Michael D.
I purchased this item for my non sliding DeWalt miter saw about a couple months ago. I use the saw at least two , three times a week. It’s not perfect for total dust collection, but I can assure anyone who purchases this item, will be completely satisfied with it helping to reduce the saw dust. Thanks for the item.
Bryce B.
After reviewing the Youtube video i think I'm missing some parts. Box had main yellow and 4 connection parts. Can you sent the rest of the missing parts? Please.
Thanks Bryce
Stephen W.
The dust collection attachment was well packaged and easy to assemble and install. It works very well to minimize sawdust from my Dewalt miter saw.
Merritt T.
Fun to install and works like a champ!
Steve T.
I bought a new 12" miter saw, the DWS716XPS, and paired it with an automatic switch for a new dust extractor. Sadly, I was extremely discouraged by the saw's poor dust collection capability. When I found your site Shop Nation, and your product Dewalt DW715/716 12" Non-Sliding Miter Saw Dust Collection, I was hopeful but I did not think it would be of much use and therefore, when it arrived I didn't install it right away.
I was totally wrong, and I am very pleased to say, your product made all the difference in the world!
I daily receive emails asking me for reviews and I never do, however I'm so happy with your product I just had to let you know.
Thank you for your excellent design!

I'll keep this simple: "It WORKS!"
Thanks

Buyer Beware!!
The Dewalt 715S Miter Saw Dust Collector I was sent had a neck that bent about 30 degrees to the right. When I tried to install it the transition piece would not go all the way through the back of the saw due to hitting the back right edge of the rear exit. It stopped about 1/2" from the bolt location.
I contacted ShopNation - Their only advise was "did you watch the video?" Yes I did - yours slip in easily - mine won't. Further requests for help were completely ignored.
I finally requested a return label - this was ignored as well. I am truly frustrated with such an irresponsible seller. Their customer service is utterly reprehensible.
Maksym R.
It was so much better then the OEM dust collector!
Quick and easy installation.
And the customer support is excellent! As a complete dummy I ordered a DW715 instead of DWS715, and Travis was very kind to exchange it with no additional charges.
joshua w.
Fits like a glove and really does a nice job of collecting a lot more dust
Guy B.
Outstanding product and service!
Go Shop Nation!!!
John P.
This dust collector chute is awesome.
I made 30 cuts in a 2"×4" before and after installing the new chute. The before installation test (aka Stock) results were 99 grams captured and 38 grams not captured (aka loose) for an Efficency of 72.3% which was better than I expected. After installation, 146 grams were captured with 5 grams loose for an Efficency of 96.7%. The photos show the dust collected during the before and after, and the data and math. I strongly recommend Shop Nations chute!
William H.
Perfect fit! Best solution for dust collection
Paul H.
Love that the instructions are simple and it works wonderfully in my miter saw.
Stephen V.
Generally, I’m not a review guy but these products are so well engineered, that here I am, leaving a review! I’ve gotten 2) 3D printed items from his store and the whole experience is a clinic on how to create and deliver a quality product to the targeted audience! At least 2 extra stars, above the 5 that I gave!
Matthew H.
This thing is awesome! I couldn't believe how little dust there is after hooking this to my miter saw.
Jeffery A.
Love the improved dust collection. Travis was great at helping me replace the throat piece I accidentally shattered. Outstanding customer service. I highly recommend ShopNation!
Jim R.
I accidentally ordered the wrong version of the product. I contacted customer support and they asked me to send it back to be replaced at no charge. I couldn't be more impressed with the service.
The device works pretty well. It collects a significant amount of dust using my shop vac.
My only minor complaint is the quality of the fittings. I know they are 3D printed but they are quite rough and the connection with the shop vac is not great.
That said, it's the best product on the market for miter saw dust collection.
Daryl P.
Very well engineered and built addition to my saw that greatly improved the dust collection on my saw. Easy to install with very clear video instructions as well.
Darryl S.
Works fantastic and couldn’t ask for more. Would 100% recommend this item. Well Done
Shane M.
This device could have been perfect. Upon receiving the dust system, it fit together as designed . However, when it was installed the thumb screws were very hard to screw in. This is because the mounting plate "foot" for the screw was 2mm too long. This puts a twisting bind on the collector chute which forces the chute off center so that it rubs the blade. I had to file the "foot" down by 2mm which leaves a very thin hole for the mounting bolt. Also the rubber is 1/4" too narrow so that the end screws barely catch the rubber. I emailed pics and video for a solution, but never received a reply.
Ricardo G.
Finally had a chance to try this dust collection thingy for my DW715. Very impressed. For straight cuts it captures more than 90%. 45 degrees cuts it doesn't work as good, but still a LOT better than the stock chute.
Worth every penny.
William S.
The before vs after is astounding! I couldn't be more pleased.
Michael P.
Video showing exactly how easy it to remove the old dust restricting setup and installing the new dust collector. This really grabs the chips and dust. My only suggestion is to make an adapter that come directly off the chute to a larger shop vac hose. But this is in no way a criticism of this product.
Randy H.
At least 30% less dust. Great product.
John B.
Easy to install and take off for cuts.
Improves the dust collection a worthwhile amount.
Helen H.
The kit worked exactly as advertised. The seller was very helpful and responsive with questions we had.
Kevin Q.
I had a narrow plywood box around my chopsaw without dust collection. All it did was funnel dust into my face. With the kit supplied connector I was able to attach a 2 inch (hose ) oneida dust collection and a Sears Craftsman 6 hp 9 gallon by friction fit.
I cut a round hole in my bench to fit the plastic bucket that is under the cyclone. Very convenient and will be breeze to empty. Also I have a removable chopsaw fence from Fastcap. The picture included shows it removed and stowed against the wall.
Daniel D.
It works awesome! Installation was pretty straight forward.
I tried to include short before and after videos but could only get one on here, the after.
Rich T.
Worth the money and does very well compared to the stock. Will be building my chop saw station soon so looking forward to having a complete solution to add to this one!
Chad B.
Quality components, easy installation, makes a noticeable improvement in dust collection. No complaints.
Christina W.
This is one of those things you don’t fully understand how awesome it is until you install it. I even just put the dust bag back in it (since my particular shop vac isn’t standard anything) virtually NO SAWDUST on the table after cuts. So glad I purchased this!
Scott D.
Works great, excellent design!
William J.
Works better than I thought it would
Jim J.
Impressive. Very easy installation and works great for my small shop. Highly recommend!
Phylicia
I like the item but shipping was very slow and I had to reach out to see where it was then all of a sudden it was shipped. I think my order has been missed.
Alfonso J.
I love this thing! I was soooo tired of dust going everywhere when using my miter saw. Now there’s so little dust that it’s barely noticeable. Highly recommend! Great job shop nation!!
Larry S.
Wow! What a difference! The dust is cut down by about 90%. Definitely worth the money.
Brent N.
The dust collection aid really does help, and it was simple to install. The rubber (or whatever material it is) collar strips do have a strong material smell that I would best describe as "stale cigars", but it's not problematic after an hour or so of being exposed to the air and I don't mention that as a negative, just as something to be aware of. The best part about the entire purchase experience--maybe even above and beyond the product itself--was the clear, very concise video explaining the installation process. Every manufacturer should take lessons from Travis on that; it's quick, easy to access, and straightforward. Kudos and thank you!
Robert W.
An excellent addition to my mitre saw! In the few cuts I've made so far, I have noticed a reduction in dust landing behind the saw. It's made of some quality materials, too.
The set-up video was easy to follow and smoothly walked me through the installation. I recommend removing the saw blade before installation, but then I have huge hands.
Tim C.
Just what I was looking for. It doesn't catch 100% but it's 90% or higher and helps a lot.
Richard B.
Easy to install. I'm thrilled with the results.
Henry
Product is well designed and came with everything needed to install. The installation video provided was fantastic and very thorough.
Highly recommend his products!
Chris V.
Just installed mine today. Hardest part was getting the plastic sheath out of the ziploc baggie :)
Alex G.
It installs easily and works admirably!
David A.
Great product - great installation video - could not be more pleased with the experience!
Shawn R.
It fit perfectly on my and the instructional video was easy to follow!
Doug F.
Took a while to get & there was a mis shipment but responded back right away & was due to waiting on their supplier BUT..... installed on my bench direct to my shop vac AND seriously I would give more stars if able. I cut 10 pieces of 2X4 to test & there was not any dust or debris. Exactly what I needed & hoped for. You will not be disappointed. Attached a couple pictures but unfortunately I don't have video. THANK YOU!!
Jerry K.
The install was quite easy. The replacement fit right in, except on the right hand side, I was not able to thread the bolt to hold the piece in place. So I removed it and made the hole just a little bit bigger in order to get it to fit properly. Overall I am very please with the design and its ability to catch more saw dust than the original component. I would definitely recommend this upgrade.
Christopher B.
The DW716 dust collector worked just as advertised.
Chris S.
Works great have very little dust flying around
Dominic
Well woe to the wait! This is awesome. Massive positive difference.
Bryan S.
I love this thing. I just hooked it right up to the dust collection system and started sawing away and watching in awe as nearly no dust escaped. I'm very pleased.
Bernard W.
My experience is sawdust is going underneath when blade first touches lumber.
Jim H.
Great upgrade to my Dewalt Miter Saw. Very easy to install and works as promoted. It captures 90% more dust than the Dewalt collector attachment when connected to my shop dust collector.
Dean I.
Awesome addition to my saw! Highly recommend!
Ann Marie M.
Super easy to install and is a game changer for keeping my miter station clean. Easily connected to my already existing dust collection system. I'll definitely get another when I eventually upgrade my miter saw.
Todd B.
Easy install, great improvement on dust and debris!
Mark T.
I was hoping this would work with my older DW705 miter saw but Travis determined it would not. A full refund was offered and I eagerly await a solution for the legacy DW 705. If anybody can do it Shop Nation will.
Kent T.
Easy to install, can't wait to use it!
Kristofer W.
Great design. Fits perfectly.
Gary B.
Installed easily and works great. Very good quality.
Richard S.
I’ve searched years for something like this. Easy to install and funnels the dust away. Works great with the vacuum, and finally an adapter that will fit the hose I have. Kudos to ShopNation! Worth every penny.
Steve M.
Very easy to install. It works way better than I anticipated. My experience is that it collects about 90% of the dust. The dust that was sneaking out the sides is all but eliminated. I highly recommend this product.
Raymond D.
The DW715 is a great tool but makes a terrible mess. Withe the addition of the new dust chute the dust is reduced by 75–80%. I also added a zero clearance base plate that has helped. Now if you can create something that captures the dust from my drill press I’ll be in heaven.
David W.
Thank you for supporting an older saw! Works great and I could definitely see an improvement in dust collection!
Colin L.
Packaging was well done. Very professional. Printed parts were off high quality -- stout with good fit-and-finish. Despite all this I did not have a lot of success with it. I started off with a 4" line reduced down to 2½ and collected about 40% of dust. I then went to a small dedicated shop vac (1¼ line) and at best caught only 50% of dust. While I didn't see a blockage, dust got pushed out to the right in both cases. Odd, especially since dust tends to spray backwards without it.
Otherwise, communication with Travis was pleasant and was very accommodating. I have him a suggestion for a design style. Maybe one day we'll see it employed.
Thanks.
Nathan W.
Brilliant- I had the XPS flavor, and was skeptical it was going to fit based on the video- but its perfect, and works amazingly well, after years of crap performance from the default. Couldn't be happier
Philip G.
Absolutely incredible improvement in dust collection from my DW715 Dewalt Miter Saw! You may believe the Shop Nation advertisement.
Joseph R.
Big improvement, what ever saw dust is not captured, hits a plastic shield behind my miter saw and slides down to a second dust collector scoop on the floor. Thanks !
John W.
I absolutely love it. The increase in dust collection is fantastic. The only negative thing I have to say about it is that the frame came slightly out of square which caused my blade to take a small chunk out of it when I first turned it on.
Robert B.
I love the way the system works on my DWS 716 dewalt miter saw. As you explained in an email to me the installation video has an error. Where the video says that you need the more compact system to fit a DWS model, this is in error for my DWS saw. The longer snout system fits my DWS saw. The screw holes defined in your video to be used for the DWS model is also incorrect for my saw. Instead of using the two holes to the right per the video I had to use the bottom hole and the lower right hole to fit my DWS saw.
Once I got this straightened out and the whole thing set up fine. it works great with my vacuum system. I’m very pleased.
Neil T.
As said it certainly won't get all the sawdust but It does a very credible job over the included dust collection that comes standard with the saw. It is impressively well made and should hold up over time. I have to say the instructions to put in the unit were probably the most understandable precise and well written directions that I have ever seen. If you have the DW 715 or 716 model saw you can't go wrong ordering this from Shop Nation.
Jonathan N.
Great Product! This is one of the messiest saws for dust collection and this addition has been amazing at helping to control that.
The product is high quality, a perfect fit (with very easy instructions) and well designed. I would highly recommend Shop Nations products to anyone.
Purchase with confidence
victor k.
Excellent product! Installation was a breeze, just needed to shim the right side to center the blade.
Only drawback is the dust bag not fitting on your adapter. Should be the same O.D. as the original adapter. I will be using a vac the majority of the time and the bag occasionally.
RaChel U.
Product works well for what I needed.
Stephen S.
Great addition to help isolate dust, gets most of the dust back behind the saw so the dust collector can do it's job. Wish they could make one for the 10" saw also.
Jeffery N.
Arrived in a timely manner. Easy to install with the correct size driver bits. While it does not eliminate miter saw dust - it is a HUGE improvement. I was impressed with the installation instruction video specific for my dewalt model.
Michael L.
The upgraded dust collection works way better than stock and way better than my diy attempts. Very happy with it, especially since it maintains the footprint of my miter saw and I can use it for angled cuts.
Karen M.
Does a great job at collecting the dust. There is a bit of dust to clean up but it is significantly less. Easy to install and good design.
Jim K.
Works great when making crosscuts and 45s when the saw is swiveled to the right. Not so good at making 45 degree cut when saw is swiveled to the left. The shroud catches on the saw sending dust everywhere. If I start the saw lower I can push the shroud into place and eliminate this issue.
Cejay H.
Everything about this items works as described. I couldn’t have asked for a better direct replacement.
Stephen S.
The dust collection adapter installed easily and has increased the captured dust significantly. Great upgrade!
Thanks!
Jeff M.
It really works. It cuts the dust down.
Sam B.
I had high hopes going into the purchase of the unit as I have seen a few of the videos on the design and testing process. Despite my high expectations, I was genuinely shocked at how well this worked on my saw. I have had this saw for 15-ish years and always accepted the fact that it made a huge mess, opting to use it as sparingly as possible to cut down on clean up time. With this quick addition, I have added the saw back into the normal rotation in the shop and will be building a dedicated station for it shortly. If you have a similar thought/reservation about your saw, this is a quick and inexpensive way to extract a lot of utility from a tool that you (like me) had relegated to occasional construction duty.
