I need to remove the rear blade guard from my saw - which is fighting me. I reached out to Support but they have not responded - I’d say 10 days at this point. The unit is not yet installed as a result. May adjust my review once it actually works.
ALLAN S.
Still leaves a mess but less than the OEM
Paul E.
Very happy with my purchase. This dust collection replacement is superior to DeWalt's original system for two reasons. First, it collects more dust and second, it allows your saw to sit closer to the back wall.

I’m the occasional diy-er so I don’t use the miter saw much but previously I had to wheel it outside from my garage to my backyard and wood dust would fly everywhere. I’ve tried with a dust collector and the OEM simply didn’t have a good collection. I upgraded to the Shop Nation one and made myself a zero clearance plate and it’s a huge difference. Now I just turn on the dust extractor, and cut in my garage! Thanks!
Ken G.
Miles better than the factory dust collector.
Sanford W.
It does pick up a lot more of the dust than the old DeWalt shoot however it seems to throw a lot of material back at me and lands on top of my miter saw. Good product I like it
Paul H.
Works great also saves about 5 to 6 inches off distance saw needs against the wall.
Peter M.
Works great, huge improvement. Simple install. What's not to like.
James H.
Simple to install and very efficient in dust collection when in use.
Doug S.
The dust collection chute installed perfectly on my DeWalt miter saw. I noticed an immediate reduction in the amount of dust generated in the air.
Paul S.
Fairly easy to install. Hooked up my dust extractor and away the sawdust disappeared. Beats the OEM dust port hands down.
Rod C.
The first one broke. We’ll see how long this one lasts.

Very easy to install. Attaching the flexible tubing is a bit of a chore and I wish there was a bit more bite for those rubber skirt screws (I realize they'd become a potential friction/collection point for dust). But it has drastically reduced the amount of wood particles on the floor behind my chop saw.
Sean M.
Nice and easy to install and use. I have to say, I wish they would include a step by step DOCUMENT in the packaging instead of only a QR code to a video that does the step by step, but that's a personal preference (since I also have tools running and prefer to have the instructions with me while I'm installing), but the process was super easy and the installation video was incredibly easy to follow.
Donald H.
Really glad I upgraded. The vacuum hose connects so much more easily, and the dust collection is absolutely superb!
MICHAEL G.
Worked better Thank you. I expected.
Nijaz M.
Initially I thought it wasn’t working like I’ve seen on videos because I saw some larger wood chips coming off to the side. But when I tested my miter saw without it almost instantly my lungs told me “you fool, this is actually working and it’s taking away the most important dust which is the fine stuff”. So yes this stuff works and is worth it. Elevates the tool tenfold.
Roger S.
If fits great, haven't used it yet.
Jack V.
I felt like the rubber sheet should have came down about an inch or 2 lower so it could catch the dust when or slightly before I start cutting. Great concept though.
Michael L.
This is the 2nd one I bought because the 1st one crack at a few of the hole. I made new holes but it didn’t hold up so I had to buy another. I’d like the plastic to be a little more durable. When it’s on and working there is a much improved dust collection so no doubt abut that. That I give 4 1/2 stars. I would recommend to purchase it… that’s why I bought another one.
William B.
Fit perfectly, easy to install. Combined with a zero clearance baseplate, really reduces sawdust!
Charles R.
Works great, easy to install.
Tom R.
Did not work as well as advertised
THOMAS N.
I was on for where the other side wasn't going to be with it. It was! I like it so much there will be ways to get where the dust had stuck in the way. My squirrel overlord told me that I should get him a soda and hotdog from the gas station.
Peter S.
So this dust collector is awesome. I gladly ripped the factory “system” out and quickly installed the new one. Got the vac hooked back up and in business. Absolutely zero dust is on the bench. Great engineering!
Isaac S.
It is definitely better than the stock dust collector port. Like all dust collection it's not a 100% but it is considerably better. I also like that it moves with my sliding miter saw.
Paul
Your dust collection is a huge improvement over DeWalt’s.
Ronny C.
No problem changing out the old collector. Took about 30 minutes and it was up and running. I know I will enjoy not having to vacuum so much. Thank you.
Frank
Easy install. YouTube video available showing step by step installation instructions. Does a great job of collecting saw dust.
Rusty G.
So I was a little hesitant when I first installed it in my shop, but once I out actually using out it out in the field on job site it does wonders and worth every penny. And I don’t look back cutting the factory out and tossing it. Now to add to some other saws. So using slider I thick boards you have some restrictions but if it eating dust I ok with that and can work around it. Everyday finish carpentry work, this has my approval
Glen M.
Dust collector arrived quickly and as promised. Works great and far superior to the stock version!
Wendell I.
Super easy install ! And works so much better then the stock one . Should have switched a long time ago !!
James D.
The screws were missing for the rubber flap, but otherwise the installation went well.
Michael W.
I was a little disappointed in the 3d print quality. There were a lot of loose plastic strands inside that will most likely buildup with dust. Otherwise the item fit my equipment as expected. Haven’t had a chance to evaluate the dust collection performance yet.
Bernard P.
Great product, could be less expensive.
Mike W.
Make a better housing. Mine broke the first time I used it. I cut a scrap 2x4 to see if the collector actually picked up any dust. Sent these same photos to Shop Nation who responded with a 50% discount on replacement parts.said my damage was from kickback and proceeded to give me advice on how to use my saw. I’ve been using miter saws for 30 years. I did not take the discount.
Charles M.
Missing small parts, 6 mm socket head screws
William G.
Quick and easy to install. Went from basically no dust being collected to catching most of it. Its not perfect, but for a miter saw it's as good as you can get and pretty inexpensive.
Carole W.
I had my Dewalt all set up with a baby sunshade for the beach. Seemed the cheapest and it worked great for sawdust control.
Then, I saw this item of yours, I bought, installed, and am happier than a day to the wood store!
It works great, I have a dedicated shop vac, I throw that power, fire up the saw, get er done and that's that....no sawdust!!
LOVE IT!!!

I’m tired of explaining the poor assistance I received. I was passed off to four different people over a hour: the original contact, a parts person who nothing about parts for my Dewalt, then to a “work order” person, then to billing? I really got tired of the whole process, and it seemed like a scam, so when asked to enter my credit card info, I hung up and called the FCC and the Better Business Bureau.
Douglas K.
It definitely reduced the amount of sawdust not being collected from the DeWalt collection system. I would say it is collecting around 80 to 85% of the sawdust.
Justin S.
It works well. If you're considering buying this i recommend it. In my opinion it's an elegant solution to an obscene problem.
Kent B.
The dust collector works as advertised. When I watched the video on YouTube about the process of developing this collector it sold me on it. You have to keep in mind he said it collect around 85% and that is a good estimate.
Robert T.
100% better than the factory collector. Only draw back is the flexible rubber piece…used the saw/dust collector a few dozen times and the rubber piece already has a few cuts in it.
Maria N.
Easy to install... 100% effective attachment.
Shane B.
Works great, let’s me move my Dewalt 779 miter saw closer to the wall, and the installation was super easy thanks to the QR code to the video that comes with it. Great product, very happy with it, my only complaint is that I didn’t buy it sooner!
Jacob C.
My dust collection system went from picking up 25% of the dust to 80%. Love it!
David F.
The dust chute fills up with dust after about two cuts. It is worse than the stock Dewalt chute.
Kevin H.
Easy to install on 782 series. Video was very helpful. Works very well with cen tec vacuum series.
David P.
It’s an improvement over standard manufacturer dust collection. Concerned about longevity, rubber flap bunched up and got cut by blade on first angled cut. Flap now has holes decreasing effectiveness on straight cuts.
Paul K.
Does not appear to appreciably increase dust collection. Perhaps just a little. I am going to try a larger wet/dry vac or hooking it up to my dust collector. I think the vacuum hose should have been a larger diameter to move a higher volume of air. Just my two cents.
Theodore P.
Though the dust collection is improved, cutting 1 x 6 baseboard vertically shredded the flexible rubber shroud and yanked it so hard that it ripped the screws out of the 3d printed piece.
I suppose I would have been more careful had I been warned
Richard S.
Easy to install, works so much better than the original, so far I am extremely pleased.
Mike L.
Was easy to install and works great!
Jim B.
Seems to improve dust collection, but the rubber skirt can catch on the fence when the fence is set to its narrowest width. The skirt tore a bit on the first pass.
Tim G.
Fast shipping and great product support.
tim s.
Give me a lot more room to work with
Marshall W.
Easy to install
Works like a charm!!
James L.
The installation video was excellent and very helpful. The dust collection is highly effective and efficient - a welcome change from the stock dust management system. Excellent product at a very reasonable price!
Robert W.
Easy installation. Vast improvement in dust collection for my miter saw.
Caleb F.
It works so much better than the stock collector. So happy to find something so functional.
Rob A.
I've been fighting the dust battle and always losing. My DeWalt compound miter saw, using the factory dust collection, created a lot of sawdust. I added a vacuum that comes on when the saw is running. Still mountains of sawdust.
I stumbled onto the shop nation store and ordered the dust collection for my saw. After installation I noticed a little less sawdust. Not at all what I expected.
I did test cuts of various materials and did notice a slight difference.
Now to the OOPS part of the review. The unit was installed correctly and I had followed the directions (something I normally don't do) but wasn't getting what I had imagined.
As I noted above, the auto vacuum , was coming on. However, I wasn't giving it time to reach top speed. 2 or 3 seconds is all I needed.
So, once I let the vacuum come up completely and made cuts, I was getting a tiny bit of sawdust from the saw. The workspace stays clean and I'm not having to vac the area every couple of cuts.
VERY satisfied with the design and install.
Matt
Easy swap out better collection if a vaccume is attached, otherwise it just blows back
Steven H.
It works as well as the first time that I installed it. I was selling the saw and I wanted to be sure my friend got the same experience that I originally had. The dust shute did need replacing but he's over the moon with the results thus far!
Miles G.
Good installation video online making installation easy. Works great!
Tom V.
Works great. Installed easily
Jerry H.
The dust collection chute fixed my DWS779’s excessive dust problem. There is hardly any dust now. Thanks so much !
Ronald T.
Installation was easy and straightforward, made huge difference in dust collection and shaved about a foot off of depth of saw. Highly recommend!
Matt T.
it works best with suction.
Tim S.
Good instructions. Significant improvement over OEM
David D.
Install was straightforward, but back and forth motion of sliding mechanism has already “chewed” parts of the rubber shield.
Dust collection is only marginally improved, and almost unchanged when doing long crosscuts.
I’ve ordered new filters for my vacuum to see if it increases suction and collects better.
Anna P.
I am getting alot of dust when I use the mitersaw, which this chute was suppose to eliminate. I know it won't stop all the dust but when I used the saw my whole shirt was covered with dust. Maybe I did something wrong?
Stephen T.
Had some small issues with install. The outer ring holds the rubber piece was out of round and had plastic in the slot not allowing the rubber to seat properly. I was able to get to work after clearing out the plastic.
Chad K.
Install was easy and exactly how video showed. Seems like a great upgrade!
Felix M.
Quality materials and really easy to install.
Aaron S.
I didn't know how to install it and I gave a 1 star review at first but then I went back to the Instagram and saw how it was installed and it took about 4 mins to install and works just as advertised. Took a little while to get to me after ordering but my dust collection has never been better!
Steve Z.
Great upgrade for my saw
Brian B.
Was an easy install and has helped the dust collection on my Dewalt Miter saw quite a bit
Steve M.
The rubber portion of the chute needs to be about an inch longer. This is something I can easily fix.
William L.
Night and day difference. Order a new dust chute for your miter saw now!
Russell H.
The unit is great. It fits, is well designed and works very well.
Joe M.
I don’t know! Perhaps bad luck! I had a piece of wood kick back and it shattered the dust collection system!
Timothy K.
Great product, keeps dust from going everywhere while working inside a house.
William H.
Very pleased with the dust collection for my DeWalt 780 miter saw. Well thought out attachment.
Michael M.
Very impressed with the sawdust collection chute I bought on Shop Nation for my DeWalt compound miter saw.
Kenneth E.
I think the new Dust collector is collecting more sawdust, but not as much as I had hoped. I'm not sure if I had unrealistic expectations or it's not as good as it's made out to be.
I'm not a fan of the hose routing.
Juan A.
I received it took the old parts off from the miter saw and after looking at the video like eight or 10 times lol I was able to figure it out. The only thing I had to message the company to ask him about the parts that you take off if I was supposed to put them back, I guess not it didn’t show in the video and after I put it all together works perfect. I recommend this product.
Gabriel R.
Works just like you said it would! Installing it was easy and flawless.
George H.
Impressive attachment, and I'd say it catches at least 90% of the sawdust the saw creates! Dig it big time! Cheers guys! -beer- :-)
DANNY Z.
Arrived on time, product definitely helps with dust collection! Glad I have this now instead of constantly spot treating the saw with a shop vac after cuts.
Pete G.
Last weekend I had to cut some particularly nasty sound absorbing wall boards. These boards create a huge amount of black dust that usually coat an area of about five feet in every direction. Most of that dust was directed into my dust separator. There was a little dust right behind the saw but most of it got sucked right up the chute. I am a believer.
George S.
Installed it on a DSW 709 and it fit perfectly.
