It was easy to install, aside from some incredibly tight screws on the saw. The saw now seems to be doing a great job at dust collection, significantly better than stock. And with the hose / fitting now coming out over the top, it adds flexibility in dust collection connections and saw placement since it eliminates the fairly restrictive port going out the back of the saw. Hose fittings are perfectly sized and lock into place on the saw.

This dust chute works much better than I expected! There is no need for a partial enclosure (or tent).
BRIAN H.
Easy to install using the great video that is provided. It really works as advertised. Almost zero sawdust escapes the chute when attached to a vacuum. I am so glad I bought it.
Randy W.
Installation was exactly like the instructions and the performance is as was advertised.
Stephen S.
Very pleased. The dust collection is not perfect, but I wasn’t expecting perfection (in fact, perfection is not possible with a miter saw). It is certainly MUCH improved. Highly recommend.
Gary B.
I have not had a chance to test it out yet, but should be much better than stock. Installation went well as long as you have the proper torx driver tips. I was missing the larger one, so this was a kick in the tail to add that to my tool box.
Tyler G.
All in all it’s better than the factory dust port. I think it would work best for a hobby woodworker, someone who uses their saw every once in a while. I do production trim work and I experience the rubber dust shield getting stuck on the fence sometimes making the slide motion not as smooth or where the vac hose attaches getting jammed sometimes in the rail.
Darrell S.
I bought the kit for the 779/780 hoping it would fit my 709 and it works flawlessly. The directions were easy to follow and the dust collection is actually effective now. There is still a little bit of mess but it has to be 90% more effective than the stock system that I have been dealing with since I bought the saw 6 years ago. Love the fit and finish and love the product. Great work!
ronald s.
Vastly improved dust collection with this piece.
JEREMY G.
This thing is great addition to my saw. Easy install and great video to go along. The amount of dust is very little. I use a control box to hook my vac and saw together for added dust collection. Best upgrade to my saw!
patrick r.
Using small screws to hold the rubber flap on is a poor design. I have tried several times to get the flap to stay but the left side keeps coming off and not catching the dust as well as it could. I want to epoxy it in but I figure that might make matters worse later on. Especially if that doesn't work.
Bobby M.
It’s better than before
Paul H.
Works as described. Easy install abd collects most of the dust. I did cut through the rubber piece when cutting a thick piece of lumber.
Steve H.
Works really well!
Eric A.
Install was pretty straightforward, the video was a must. I thought it was odd that the screws holding on the rubber collection drape are too long, or the plastic housing is too thin, and the screws penetrate into the main dust collection opening. I am still trying to locate 2.5" hose to make the connection from the adapter I purchased and the adapter for the 4" hose - apparently that's not a common size. It will be interesting to see how the drape works out as it rubs against the fence as the saw is moved forward and back - I definitely won't be able to pull the saw forward in the down position.
Robert C.
The installation video was excellent!
Brent F.
Went on easily. Works as advertised brother. Such an upgrade.
Breck A.
This was fairly easy to install if you have the right tools. The video really helps. Everything fit correctly. It does collect the sawdust from the blade fairly efficiently. Not quite as much as I thought it would, but better than what I had. Maybe after more time I can rate it up from four stars to five stars.
Kevin W.
Love the dust collection adapter. It is like a 100% difference in the amount of dust reduction in my garage where I keep my saws. Thank you for your hard work on the research & development. The shipping was prompt and came in excellent condition
Steven R.
Fites perfectly on my saw. Combined with my DeWalt shop vacuum, I get virtually no dust. Amazing product. Highly recommended.
Thomas H.
Hello. As of this moment I have received three of your product review requests. I have still not received the order. The order was placed January 17th. I recently checked on my orders delivery date and it won't be here until February 28th. Since I have no product to review I can't let you know how it performs. But I will say that I have a very low opinion of your shipping policy/department.
Thank you
Daniel S.
Nice product! Greatly reduces the amount of dust I have to clean up.
Kevin S.
Easy installation
Gary H.
part you sold me ONLY fits type 1,2,3. mine type 4. nowhere in literature does it call out type needed.
Jeffrey P.
Vastly better than what DeWalt provided. Thanks for helping keep my shop clean and my lungs healthier!
Dave S.
I have to take away a star simply because of one issue. The rubber flap will occasionally find it's way on top of the board (i.e. sliding out when cutting wide stock) and it gets shredded by the blade. I'm a little apprehensive making cuts now because I don't know if it will grab the rest of it and cause a major blowout. I do like the fact that I don't have to plug my vacuum hose all the way at the back of the slide.
Gerry B.
Easy to install and it works great.
Jonathan K.
Quick shipping, excellent product. Dramatically reduced dust, outstanding.
Roderick S.
So far, it seems to work reasonably well, though I generally had decent results with the original collector and a shop vac. This is a bit better so far.
One main con, though. This thing is very fragile. The neck cracked while I was threading the hose onto it (fairly gently). I used some CA glue to fix the crack and that works for now, though I'm concerned about long term usage. I've had small offcuts slam into the old collector with quite a bit of force, and I have a feeling that this one might not survive that impact (and I haven't tried the new collector with a sacrificial fence to see if they'd work together or not).
As I've noticed others mention, I would pay a bit more for a thicker wall on it, especially at the hose end.
David V.
Great device, easy to install!
Rick H.
I would buy another
James K.
My wife broke my first one so I bought another one… and although it is a good product, it doesn’t pick up as much dust as I had hoped.
JAMES S.
We installed the device. The shroud was immediately cut and the housing was damaged from a piece thrown from the saw. The supplier offered to refund the purchase price. I sent the parts back with a prepaid lable from them. As of today I have heard nothing more from them. I would not trust them to stand behind their product.
susan m.
Really helpful with dust removal. Love it.
Monte K.
Literally the very first time I used it, it kicked the off-cut into the chute... blew it apart and scared the hell out of me. I was cutting a pine 2x4 laying flat.
Terry C.
Very easy to install. Performed a quick check and it seems to work great. Will know more once I finally get a chance to use it. Would definitely recommend as an improvement on the stock dust collector.
William C.
Installation was quick and easy.
Reduced the dust around my saw drastically.
scott d.
I liked the informative step by step instruction video on how to install the dust collector.
David E.
Easy installation and much improved dust collection.
Randy P.
Such a more efficient design than the factory setup.
Augustus S.
As advertised, perfect
Suzy T.
I hesitated to fill out this review because I believe it's not working as well as I hoped because of the size of my vacuum (and suction) NOT because of the dust collection device.
Ben F.
Easy install. It’s not perfect, but what is? Great dust collection for the miter saw. I’m running 12-gal 5HP DeWalt Stealthsonic with a separator and it is working GREAT!! Thanks, Travis!!
Randy H.
Works perfectly less sawdust on the floor. Engineering is great.
Mauricio Z.
95% of the dust produced by my mitre saw just disappeared!!!!
Tyler O.
The dust is cut way down, wish I bought one years ago!
Jeremy J.
Perfect just perfect!
Stephen D.
Great fit on my 779! Definitely helps remove more dust than the original equipment!
Henry A.
Well made dust collection manifold. Great communication from Shop Nation.
John G.
Easy to install. Much improved over DeWalt stock dust collection.
Ryan R.
Exactly what I needed! Works perfectly along with my dust collector to control 99% of the dust coming off my miter saw. Thanks to problem solvers like you, I can keep my shop clean spend time doing the things I enjoy more!
Remi A.
It’s a lot better compared to the factory dust collection . I would recommend, your lung will be happy !
robert d.
Install was easy and have tested it a bit but waiting to get hose extension to put it to work.
So far everything is good.
R J Davis
Eric R.
This really does help with dust collection!
William M S.
Did everything I was hoping it would do.
James M.
It doesn’t for my Dewalt sliding compound saw. It is older and it doesn’t work.
Paul V.
Once installed you will see a great difference in you dust collection.
Had a small problem will the flap membrane with the zero clearance fence I use, but did find a solution.
Mark S.
Quick simple install and works great!
Greg Q.
Definitely an improvement
Jeffery T.
Product fit perfectly and works great .
mark c.
Great solution!
Much better dust collection
easy to install and allows the saw to get closer to a wall nice job!
Robert R.
Perfect fit and works GREAT!!
So much better at catching debris than the saw's original port.
johnny M.
It doesn’t get 100% of the saw dust but it’s a big improvement over the stock dust collection. I would say it gets 80% of the saw dust versus 40% for the original. I have it connected to my dust collector and may try it with a shop vacuum to see if that’s better. Very satisfied.
George K.
I've had it a few weeks. Works as advertised. Very easy install. There were no instructions, but go to the website and watch the video.
Ben F.
Ahhh. . . It’s ok. Wanted to love it. Need to make sure it’s not my equipment although I’ve tried two different vacs.
Russ T.
As a wood worker, I'm always trying to think ahead and be createtive. This is an excellent option to work smarter and stay ahead with the clean up.
Surely makes a difference in my shop.
Thank you!

Easy install and great results so far
Erwin B.
Easy install and huge improvement for dust collection.
Great upgrade to my Miter saw.
Thank you for creating this.
Daniel B.
The rubber boot keeps tearing out. No fancy bevels or even 45 deg. at this time, just straight 90's. The Dewalt fence is opened wide enough to avoid contact with the boot. It's almost as though the groove for the boot isn't deep enough. I'm running without the rubber boot installed installed. On my older Dewalt the silicon boot that was held on with magnets worked better although there were restrictions on things like bevel cuts. The rest of the design with the boot being the exception is a bunch better than the stock setup by Dewalt.
Martin M.
Fits perfectly and works a lot better than the DeWalt dust chute. I also installed a new blade at the same time. The new dust funnel needs to be loosened slightly to make blade installation a little bit easier.
James E.
It works great and was easy to install
justin l.
The only bummer part is that it has to be removed to be able to change the saw blade. I change saw blades frequently but for the person that just puts a blade on until it’s worn out it would work perfect.
Esequiel S.
It's perfect!!
John K.
Works better than expected.
Stewart L.
Unlike my experience with the DW708 Saw Dust Collector chute (which I had to modify to clear the blade) this one went on like a champ, first time, and two of my stagecraft students took the lead on it!
Keep up the good work!
Jerry D.
I'm still on the fence. I so want it to solve the dust problem and I do think it is an improvement. However it has not been without problems. The skirt edge has come loose a couple of times and it has been cut by the blade (there is a spare). The skirt also gets caught against the sliding back fence it it is not opened quite wide. No chance this would work with a zero clearance back fence.
The adapter to the Rigid shop vac hose is just a little bit small and the hose does not seat as well as I would like.
Doug H.
Easy to install. I should have come up with it myself. Well done!
Matthew R.
Followed the detailed video from
The provided QR code and was up and running in 15 minutes. Thing is a game changer. Never going back!!
James R.
Not perfect but A LOT better!!
Joseph W.
Installation was flawless. Have only used for a short time, so time will tell. Initial results are good, less sawdust than original dust collection that comes with the miter saw.
Ken M.
At the end of the day, the product works on my DeWalt 780 and collects sawdust better that the original system that came with the saw.
A couple of points:
I found it much easier to install by taking off the saw blade.
Although it looked easy in the video, attaching the flex hose to the dust collector piece was excruciating. I’d strongly suggest a design modification.
Perhaps a simple way to keep the hose from sliding off the motor housing when the saw is in use.
Overall the concept is good and with a little tuning would really hit the mark.
Wayne Z.
Awesome product hands-down probably one of the best dust collection systems I can find
Matthew F.
Easy to install, great fit and captures the dust. If you don’t have one get one.
Alfredo B.
Easy to install and very effective. I which I install it earlier.
Michael L.
It attached to the saw perfectly, the installation video was right on and to the point. The dust extraction is amazing, very happy with it. You did your homework and it shows. Congratulations on a fine product you should be proud of it.
James D.
Great product! Simple installation with helpful video. Works much better than the unit that came with the saw.
Ryan G.
Hello- while I love the collection when saw is at 0 degrees and locked, I used for the first time this weekend to re-trim a basement and when I cut at 45degree angles or used the slide I cut into the black thing that screws into the fixture and I found that it obstructed my view. Hence the 3 stars. That said, I was thinking of reaching out to see if maybe I mounted it wrong which I am actually hoping i did as it worked great when again I was chopping at o degrees and in locked vs slide position. Thanks, Ryan
Jim C.
It's definitely better than the original device. However I feel the rubber flap could be altered to do a better job.
Joseph T.
Awesome products. Works unbelievably well.
Mark M.
easy install, seems to work great but weather too cold for extensive try-out right now
