Factory chute vs. Shop Nation
See the difference
Factory dust chutes leave a gap right where the blade throws the most debris. Ours is engineered around the Hercules HE74 12" Sliding Compound Miter Saw to close it and steer chips into your hose, so they stop ending up on the floor, the fence and in your lungs.

A closer look
Keep the saw. Fix the dust.
You picked the Hercules HE74 12" Sliding Compound Miter Saw for its power and accuracy. Its dust collection is the one weak spot. This chute is engineered around that exact saw, so it fits like it came from the factory, only better.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Which saws does it fit?
It's made specifically for the Hercules HE74 12" Sliding Compound Miter Saw. Match the model number on your saw's label before ordering.
Do I need a vacuum or dust collector?
Yes. The chute steers debris into your hose, so you'll need a shop vac or dust collector connected to it to get the full benefit.
How hard is it to install?
It's straightforward. It bolts into the same spot as the factory chute, with no cutting, drilling or modification to your saw. Most installs take a few minutes.
Can I go back to the factory chute?
Yes. Nothing on your saw is modified, so you can put the stock chute back on any time.
How much of a difference does it really make?
A big one. The chute closes the gap where factory chutes let the most debris escape, so far more chips end up in your vac instead of on the floor, the fence and in the air. Read what 15 woodworkers say in the reviews above.
How do I get the build plans?
The plans are digital PDFs, delivered by email immediately after purchase, so you can start planning your next build while the chute ships. If the email doesn't show up within a few minutes, check your spam or promotions folder.
What happens if I return the chute?
The physical chute is covered by our 30-day satisfaction guarantee. A fixed $40 of the bundle price is allocated to the digital build plans, and once they're delivered that $40 is nonrefundable for change-of-mind or dissatisfaction returns, including on discounted or sale purchases.
If you return the chute, your product refund is the bundle price you actually paid after discounts, minus $40, plus applicable refundable tax. Return shipping and original shipping refunds are handled under our Returns & Refunds Policy. Full details are in Section 8 of our Terms of Service.
