Installed easy enough. Doesn't work as well as I had hoped. Maybe because I am cutting green wood with a lot of moisture. The sawdust is damp and sticky. It's better than OEM but sawdust still goes everywhere. Also, the first thick board (3") that I cut it also cut the end of the rubber dust chute. When u push the saw down the rubber flattens out on the board and when slide saw back it cut about 3/4" in the middle of the rubber. Dust is a problem and hoped this would solve it. It does help some but wouldn't call it good.

Installation was easy but when I used it for the first time my vertical fences were in close to the blade opening and when I cut the test piece the rubber flap pushed against the fence which in turn pushed the flap into the blade and cut a chunk out of it.
Jeffrey S.
Installed this as soon as I received it. I am very happy to report the dust collection is so much better! Highly recommend this add-on...
Jeff P.
Far better than the original dust collector, easy to install, works great. Love it!
Randy J.
The adapter did not fit my saw even though it is a Hercules, HE-74 model. The screws that attach the adapter to the saw is located differently than where your video shows it attaching. I'm not sure if they made different attachment points for the same model or not. I can supply photos if you desire.
Jimmy P.
Received 10 days after placing my order. There were no missing items and installation on my Hercules saw was straightforward per their referenced video. The fit was perfect. Operationally it collects at least 80% of the dust and doesn’t restrict my saw in any way.
Byron H.
With the YouTube video, it was easy to install. I haven’t had it on very long, but so far it has worked well-much better than the stock version.
Richard J.
Easy installation works good
Michael C.
Installation video was great and very easy to follow. The new components work very well. Almost all of the dust/chips went straight into the vacuum. This is the cleanest miter saw I have ever used.
Mary P.
It definitely helps with dust collection but one drawback is I have to open the fence up to allow the rubber piece that hangs down to have clearance, otherwise it gets caught up and tears out.
Matthew Z.
Easy install....way better than original sub par dust collector.
GREGORY T.
very simple to install Thank you
Jimmy
Order to receipt was 10 days. That’s acceptable. Installation was easy by following the installation video. Performance is impressive. The unit collects 80% or more of generated dust.
Joey K.
It fit exactly as it supposed to. Very nice. Definitely picks up a lot more sawdust than the manufacturer’s setup. Thanks for doing the research and design!! Keep up the good work. BTW love the YouTube channel.
JAMES A.
This product is terrible I still have sawdust problems.
I didn’t see any changes in seeing less sawdust.
I had high hopes this would work, but it didn’t. This was a complete let down and a waste of of money.
Not happy at all.
Ralph M.
Works better than I thought
Assembled very easy
Only used it once so far
Thank you very much
Allen H.
Worked great. Nice little piece. So glad I found it.
Raymond B.
It's a very nice looking and well made accessory for my Hercules 12" miter saw. I just installed it and after watching the video the installation went really smooth.
I would recommend this product for anyone.
Thanks
Phil L.
Works great so much better than the original equipment
Juan R.
I like the design. It was a perfect fit. Only thing is I found the rubber to be too flimsy and it could be extended. I came up with a fix by adding a slim strip of metal and thicker rubber to the front and back. The metal helped to keep its shape and the added rubber helped to extend it. With that fix it collects more dust. For that price that fix should be included. I recommend this product and would still buy it again since it's an easy fix and I have the materials to do it.
Juan
Perfect fit. I did modify it a bit. Rubber sleeve seemed to be too thin. I added a slim strip of metal to keep its shape and an extra strip of rubber un the back and front . That made it a bit lower to capture more dust. Easy fix but for the price that should be included. I would buy it again.
Kevin R.
Made well. Fit is good. Makes a big dent in the dust problem.
John G.
Easy install. OEM was worse than useless.
Russell G.
Installation was very easy and straightforward. I'm running with the supplied blade from the Hercules manufacturer. This may have something to do with the subpar results as I do get many chips that make it past the collection system. This may be the blade and it may have to do with my choice of wood, which is birch plywood, both 1/2 and 3/4 thickness. I'm also going to add a zero clearance tape and I will quickly learn if that change is an improvement. Other than that, a new blade could help. I have great flow from my DeWalt vacuum, almost too much as it occasionally folds the rubber flap.
Leonard H.
Worked perfectly.
Gary K.
This order took 5 days to process and 10 days in shipping
Bural J.
All parts fit well. I just hope no kickback happens because that steel bracket where it goes protects rear of saw. So far so good
Dave D.
The dust collection is much better. There is always going to be some in front of the saw, but a large amount is picked. It's worth the investment and easy to attach. Thanks for a good upgrade.
Craig S.
Does a much better job than the stock dust collection system. Especially works great when cutting smaller boards.
Robert C.
The shop nation attachment is better than the OEM dust collection collar.
Michael J.
It performs as advertised. Very pleased as it does collect most of the debris. Glad I purchased.
david a.
10X better than stock!!!
Brian G.
The dust collector is doing an amazing job on my Hercules 12 inch compound miter saw. What a difference!
Ray G.
the flap is to low the saw cut it and the dust doesn’t go anywhere near the exit.
Dale B.
It works the way they said, no complaints.
Wesley S.
Received it on time. Very easy instructions video to follow installation. Definitely a big improvement on collecting dust.
Glad I purchased this product.
Wes
Kenny H.
Love it. Works great.!
Paul B.
I was going to purchase an DW 780 but saw some videos on YouTube and the Harbor Freight Hercules was compared and I saved $350 & I like it a lot. My saw was Easy to modify with the Shop Nation dust collection system. I added a Festool dust collector to the system. Everything fit perfectly and I finally have dust control. Thank you for a great product. I love it.
William D.
Works as advertised. So far very satisfied.
Craig W.
Easy installation and video helped out a lot. Haven’t had the chance to use it yet.
Dale T.
Excellent product, easy to install and works much better than the factory collection. Super impressive.
Gary B.
Installation was very simple with the YouTube video provided for my particular saw. Very informative with the types of t20s and t15s needed and where. Easy to attach to preexisting dust collection with optional accessories I ordered with the kit. Definitely will be adding more shop nation products to future equipment.
Eddie M.
so far so good, vastly improved the dust collection
Kenneth W.
I only recently received the dust collection system for my Hercules Miter Saw and finally installed yesterday. Very easy and simple installation by following the detailed step by step online video. The system seems to be decent quality, even with it being plastic. I have been unable to use the original collection because when connected, the flap was so thin and flimsy the vacuum would suck it into the port and block the line. Hopefully this will be much better as the flap is considerably thicker material. Since I do my sawing outdoor, I’ve yet to use the system, but will be doing so in the coming days as weather allows as I have a few projects already lined up. Will update this after seeing the effectiveness of the new system.
Rhonda L.
It was easy to install and works great
Terry K.
Arrived quickly and in good shape, but I haven't installed it yet.
Dayton B.
Its a good piece of equipment. It does make a big difference connected tro a dust collector system.
One quibble , i would like a longer hose that goes over the saw motor so it could be secured easier.
Robert E.
I like not having all the dust to sweep up!
It works well. I’d say about 80% of the dust gets sucked up now. That number would be higher but not because of any deficiencies in the Shop Nation product but the design of the Hercules saw itself.
My only knock is that on one point of the product there seems to be a small gap/crack where the 3D printer did not close up completely. That being said, it works and works well! Kudos to you guys. You made my life easier!
tanner h.
Works like a charm, paired with my dust collector behind it! Still in the works on the new set up currently!
Jon W.
Better than the original
Richard C.
Slightly better dust collection from the original setup. Not sure how robust the 3d printed material is if it receives a thrown chunk of wood. It is a decent product, however, if I had it to do over I would have passed on the purchase.
David J.
Easy to install a workstation as advertised.
Dennis R.
Easy to install.Still have a little dust but a great improvement from factory .
Adam G.
I did not receive the screws of flexible hose
Christopher C.
Best dust collection system you can get for your miter saw
John C.
Have or used it yet
Richard D.
Easy to install and seems like it will collect a lot more dust than the original.
luis f.
It was very easy to install .Looks great on my miter saw . And very efficient . Picks up 70% more sawdust then before
robert h.
Nice video on how to install it on the miter saw
Merle N.
Quite a bit better than expected. Glad I purchased it.
Daniel S.
It went together well but doesn’t collect a whole lot more dust than the OEM parts.
Ron C.
While it works better than the one that came with it, there is still quite a bit of saw dust that does not get captured front sides. There needs to be a secondary curtain to trap these. When I make one we can talk
Adam O.
Ordered and went on sale few days later and was told have to return and reorder to get sale price
Huge waste of time
Anthony H.
Collects some of the sawdust but still a lot to clean up. Not worth $50 when I paid $285 for the saw. Pretty disappointed.
Kenneth H.
Works better than expected. Very pleased.
Stephen B.
Installation video made it easy to understand and install. It works much better than the original dust collection on the Hercules miter saw.
James R.
Installation was fast and easy. I also added an automatic power switch to fire up my vacuum when I fire up the saw. It does not get all the dust but it is much improved over stock.
John K.
Not sure how, but the black rubber piece got cut by the blade. A little disappointed as I just got it. You were nice enough to include and extra one, but still a little disappointing.
I’d be 5 stars if not for that.
Jonathon H.
I ordered parts for a Chicago Electric. You sent Hercule Poirot. I wanted stops for my mitre saw, I don't know what you sent. I have no computer and the library takes cards away from people who try to download videophyles. So your instructions have been used to clean poo off shoes. Actually made me feel better, putting the paper to use.
Since I am aware you are in business to accomodate the stupidest trump voter out there, You won't care if I trash you to every woodworker I know, since we ALL voted for democracy and capitalism. No choice means no elections and no capitalism, merely cronyism with the boss'es buds, Monkey see, Musky dodo. Get the point.
Michael D.
Great product, thank you.
Jack C.
Haven't used it much yet so I can't say good or bad, give me a month I'll know more than
john m.
Love this product !! Works like a charm !!
Darrell J.
Great product!!
Josh M.
The new dust system was easy to install and really made a difference. Very happy
Fred L.
What a difference this makes. The stock unit had sawdust all over, typical miter saw problem , even with the vacuum cleaner hooked up. Installed this unit and eliminated about 90 to 95 percent of the dust problems. Highly recommend for the Hercules 12 in miter saw.
Terrence D.
Very easy to install and HUGELY more effective than the built-in dust collection. I'm impressed.
Jeff G.
Great product. Easy install. Works fantastic!
Richard H.
Installed with no issues. I have only made a few test cuts using dust collector on new saw.
Charles K.
It's better but not great. I had a tent behind my mitre before. I will put the tent back up and hopefully the combo will help more. I understand the space restrictions but the very small hose will not allow enough suction. Yes my vac is very strong. The best feature is the quick disconnect for the vac hose. Now I can suck up all the mess
Chris P.
Great product. Solid materials, easy to install, and fits great.
Joseph D.
Received everything that was promised. Instructions were perfect, no issues or frustrations disassembling or installing. Works as advertised. Just keep in mind, this will not capture every piece of saw dust, but it makes a huge difference. Well worth the investment, highly recommend.
Richard C.
Easy to install with video. Works pretty well.
Albert P.
Assembly was easy, and connected vacuum with no problems.
Blaise M.
Works great. I’m glad someone else finally got sick of miter saw’s terrible dust collection and did something anyone can purchase instead of all the “DIY build your own” stuff out there. Looks much better than a plywood box behind the blade too.
Fred
Wow..what a difference it has made. No more saw dust everywhere. A whole lot better than the stock unit.
Don
Easy to install. I have it hooked up to my cyclone dust collection system and it’s way better than the stock dust shoot
BJ B.
Better than what I had but going make modifications to my saw mounting for better performance
Mark M.
I havent had a chance to assemble it yet, but I love how the product is made and look forward to putting it on soon.
Joe
It works, far better than the stock collector..
Easy install and decent quality... so far so good!!
Sean G.
I was loving it as a dust collector, the design really helped eliminate the fine particles from the saw.
Today I had a kickback incident and I loved the potentially unintended safety feature. The dust collector broke free and all that space threw the wood cleanly back and away from me.
Will definitely be ordering a replacement for my saw!
Donald T.
It took the Hercules miter saw from about 1% dust collection to something in excess of 95%. Quite a game changer. Also, could not be easier to install. Clear instructions and everything you need in the package except a couple Torx drivers and one phillips driver. Very well designed.
John B.
Heck of a lot better than the orginial dust scoop that came with the saw.
Don K.
Was easy to install. Works way better than the original
Troy W.
The Hercules dust hood works great, not perfect but there is no perfect solution for miter saws. That said the instructions to install were non existent, the QR code card only leads to the original design video for another brand so I had to figure it out on my own. Not a biggie but not ideal.
