Hose Adapters
Finally a solution that replaces the terrible dust collection attachment on your Hercules 12" HE74 Compound Sliding Miter Saw! You will see a HUGE improvement in dust collection efficiency with this upgrade - all without losing ANY effective saw capacity! This chute is printed in a blue color (close to the Hercules Blue) high strength PETG plastic with black PETG accessories.
NOTE: This solution is designed SPECIFICALLY for the HE74 model number. There is no guarantee that this will fit any other saw.
Everything you need is Included:
(1) Dust Collection Chute Body (Hercules Blue)
(1) Expanding Hose Section
(2) Flexible rubber flap
(1) Hose Transition Piece (with optional adapters if ordered)
(4) Small phillips screws for attaching flap to the chute body
(1) Install Card with QR Code for complete installation video
There is an option to add a dust collection fitting to accommodate the common dust collection hose sizes.
| Fitting Sizes | OD |
ID |
Works with |
| Hose Transition | 1.625" (41.2mm) | 1.4" (35.5mm) | Small extractor hoses, Festool D27 |
| Medium Adapter | 2.00" (50.8mm) | 1.75" (44.5mm) | Common adapters, Festool D36 |
| Large Adapter | 2.45" (62.2mm) | 2.25" (57.1mm) | Shop Vac, 2.5" Dust Collection Hose |
If you're in desperate need of some cleanliness in your shop, look no further! This product was meticulously designed and tested to optimize dust collection efficiency while not impacting the capacity of the saw itself.
Blade changes: To change your blade you will need to loosen the (2) mounting screws to allow enough wiggle room to get the blade off. This minor inconvenience was a necessary evil to keep safety and dust collection efficiency as high as possible!

Installation video made it easy to understand and install. It works much better than the original dust collection on the Hercules miter saw.
Clay S.
Good
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.

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.
James D.
As advertised
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.
David A.
Works as advertised.
Easy install.
Scott H.
I was very pleased with the unit. The install video was excellent. The results are so much better than what came with the unit. It was a good investment.
Dale M.
It collects better than the one that came with it but not as good as I was hoping. It keeps more sawdust at the saw but it only collects about 50% of
Nicholas M.
It does help with dust collection, but I still get a fair amount not going into the collector. Overall, I'm happy with it, but it could be better. Probably just needs are bigger rubber piece to be a back stop / funnel for the dust.
Walter S.
Mounting easy enough. Could be better at getting the dust. Going to try a bigger dust collector. That should help
Mark S.
Although the 3D printing is not the best, it seems to be rigid enough to do the job. I’m monitoring the amount of dust collection as compared to the standard vac attachment that came with my Hercules sliding compound miter saw. So far, a big difference.
Mark
Barb A.
It Looks Like It Is What I Have Been Looking For Works Great
Greg F.
Installed easily and so far works great. Time will tell on the durability. Doesn’t collect everything but does seem to collect the smallest particles which are the most dangerous. Regardless it is a great improvement over the manufacturing setup
Nolan W.
Easy to install and works much better than the factory installed dust collection.
Ken S.
After watching your video I got the dust collector installed and it works exactly how I wanted and needed. Thank you for that video and thank you for giving me something to keep my shop cleaner! I really appreciate you product because it does exactly what you said it would do!
Don P.
Went together very nicely and very accurate and very fast. Works fantastic!!

Richard W.
It was easy to install and i had all the parts that I needed. It worked well but not perfect. Definitely waay better than stock.
Bradley D.
This works well, but the saw will not advance all the way through so the board is not cut all the way. I have to finish the cut with a hand saw. The frame apparently touches the provided tube, resulting is a shorter stroke.
James C.
Easy to install. Much improved over the factory collector. Great investment!
Fred E.
Works as advertised. Installation was easy with the video link provided. Not perfect at catching all dust (but then again it wasn't advertised as perfect) but much better than the harbor freight stock dust port. Would definitely recommend to others with a Hercules Miter saw.
Bob M.
Intallation video was perfect. This thing collects at least 90% of the sawdust. No clue why the factory has such crappy dust collection. Highly recommend getting one of these for your saw. Thank you Shop Nation
Steven P.
The installation video is well done and made it easy to install. However, I am not confident that it has improved the dust collection much at all for me. Suction is certainly there but there seems to be a lot of sawdust deflecting off of the rubber piece. Installed on the Hercules 12" sliding miter saw.
Timothy D.
Easy install works so much better than the one the saw came with.
dareck h.
Works awesome install was breeze
Garry J.
I am very please to solve a problem so easily. Prior to installing this attachment to our miter saw, things got messy fast. The OEM dust bag is laughable in performance.
Installation was a breeze thanks to the video.
Our work shop has a gravel floor and clean up after a big project has always been a monumental chore.
This new addition has been a game changer! I highly recommend this attachment.
Thanks,
Garry
Ron W.
Works awesome
Prentice T.
Works much better than the factory chute. Thanks so much! I highly recommend to all saw owners.
Brian W.
This was easy to install and the video link helped. Only thing I would change or do different would make the channel that the rubber flap goes in deeper so it don’t try to pull out right away when you slid your saw back and forth
Aaron
I love this song product . The dust collection is like night n day compared to the original dust collection that came with the saw .
Ray H.
The dust collection replacement was easy to install and I definitely see an improvement in how much sawdust is vacuumed away. No problem with 45 degree miter cuts except fence has to be adjusted more than previous. Very happy with it so far.
Albert W.
Works as advertised. Far less sawdust at this end of shop. Highly recommend it. I may work with either a newer shopvac or experiment with my dust collector, but hey, I’m a mechanical engineer. Very happy!!!
Kenneth C.
So far I’ve been terribly disappointed. I have my collector installed on the Hercules 12” miter saw. There seems to way too much sawdust ricocheting off of the rubber shield. It seems since the actual avenue for the sawdust to travel has been focused on one side, that anything that doesn’t have a direct path to that opening, bounce off creating a mess. There seems to be plenty of suction air velocity at the opening but the funneling effort to get the rest of the dust to that point fails.
It’s a nice looking piece but in my opinion not effective at all.
Michael P.
Super easy to install, fits well and works great.
Money well spent!
Travis R.
It fit great. Hooked it up to a shop vac and auto switch. It cuts down the dust a bunch.
Steve B.
Easy to install and it works much better than the OEM system.
David C.
Works exactly as advertised. Not a 100% solution, to be sure, but I can't imagine an easier 90% solution. What others haven't noted is that the 90% includes virtually all of the fine dust, which is what makes the widest mess and is most inhalable. The remaining 10% is overwhelmingly the coarse stuff, which doesn't hang in the air or fly very far, making cleanup even easier than the 10% figure would suggest.
Mark M.
I am so impressed with the Shop Nation dust collection port for my Hercules Miter saw! The product is well designed and easy to install. The video instructions were very clear and specific to my particular saw. The OEM dust port was just a lame chute into a bag. With the addition of the Shop Nation dust port, I now have active dust collection right behind the blade. Everything that I needed to connect to my shop vac was included with my order. A big improvement to my miter saw. Thanks Travis!
Joseph W.
Fits perfectly, but one of the included 5 screws was missing. Pretty simple installation.
It does not catch ALL of the dust (and I did not expect it to) but, wow, it catches A LOT of it!
Robert J.
Works as advertised. Much improved dust collection on the Hercules mitre saw, the machine with the world's sorst dust collection system. No device that I know of will collect all dust from a mitre saw but this one does a creditable job. Easy to install in 10-20 minutes following clear directions provided.
Ruben V.
Awesome product that’s a game changer in minimizing dust. I added the festool dust extractor and now I have very minimal sawdust after cutting. Worth it!! You won’t be disappointed.
Timothy s.
Better than stock, but nothing spectacular. I tried it with my dust collection as well as a shop vac. It just seems to really choke down the air. It would work much better with a larger diameter hose/inlet.
David M.
This miter box dust collection addition performs very well. Fit and finish or the attachment is great, and it is streamlined to the saw body. Any nuisance dust and chips are now limited to a small amount that is quite manageable now. Totally worth the investment.
Greg S.
I have to say that the improvement is nothing short of remarkable. We all know that miter saw dust collection is never going to be 100% or even close, but this product has changed a near sell and change saw decision to a keeper for my Hercules saw. My setup is in the garage with cars and I am extremely happy with the result of my purchase.
Clint S.
Was easy to install with great instructions! The cut down on the dust is about 50% better but still doesn’t get all of it. So I will keep it on and build a dust collection box to trap the other shavings that is not picked up by the device.
Frank R.
It was easy to install and greatly reduced the dust flying everywhere. Makes it much easier to clean up after making cuts.
Cale C.
This dust collection system is a game changer for my Hercules! The installation was simple and straightforward, especially thanks to the video. Build quality is solid and it looks good attached to my miter saw. It almost looks as if it came with the machine.
Jeremy F.
Installation was simple and there is a massive increase in dust collection. Was nice not having to shop vac a customers driveway after finishing a job.
Samuel D.
This dust collection upgrade for my HE74 is a night and day difference from the dust collection that came on the saw. To say that the stock dust collection was worthless is an understatement. After installing the new Shop Nation dust collection, I'd say my dust around the saw is 95 percent less or better. I'd highly recommend to anyone who wants the ultimate upgrade to their Hercules 12" sliding miter saw. You will NOT be disappointed!
aaron s.
Great product. Fast shipping. Improves dust collection significantly.
Brent D.
The unit fit my Hercules saw well. The only feedback would be to include or offer a bracket that secured the dust collection outlet a bit better. The zip ties are okay but something a bit more permanent would be preferred. Nice design otherwise. I would recommend.
Brian H.
Easy install and appreciate the video on YouTube.
Duncan W.
I received the dust collector for the 12 inch hercules sliding miter saw today.It was very easy to install and it worked great.After cutting several pieces of wood the amount of dust was hardly noticeable,compared to the stock piece.
I am so glad that I found your website.
Many thanks.
Duncan.
RANDY T.
I used the Shop Nation Dust collection on a Hercules 12 inch sliding Miter saw for one full day of cutting in my shop. I have only had it for a little more than a week. It was connected to a Craftsman 9 gal Vac that was always used with this Saw. The results were actually surprising to me because I only needed a short time to clean up because the throw back was reduced by about 70 %. You have a great product here that installs in minutes and has very good performance. This was money well spent, Kudos to Shop Nation.
mark r.
Utterly amazing, collects about 80% of dust and debris you would be a fool not to purchase it
Thomas
Great quality and easy instructions. Thanks! Looking forward to using it.
michael w.
Haven't used it much, yet, but it sure looks good.
ralph
was cutting a 4x4 and all of a sudden the dust collection exploded into a thousand pieces one piece took off the very end of my thumb not bad but a lot of blood. I e mailed shop nation about it and have heard absolutely nothing in over a week. It also ruined my saw but harbor freight replaced it without any problem. I would have liked to have just gotten some acknowledgement from shop nation. I would caution anyone thinking about buying this dust collection system to not do it.
Adam D.
It works Great. I'm glad I was given an extra rubber flap because I was not aware the fence on the Hercules HE74 was too close, and the blade took a bite. You could have used that warning in your video, which was very helpful to install.
Thanks for the great work
Chris C.
The collector works very well, drawing in most of the sawdust. I am pleased with it. Installation was easy, with clear instructions.
Randy B.
Over all the product works. I would like to see a change made with the adapters. The raised bump to create a positive lock would be better if the bump and matching groove was higher/deeper for a more secure lock for the tubing. Mine barly holds in place. The other suggestion wold be to have the rubber flap alittle wider the capure more debris from the blade. Keep up the good work and hope the suggestions wold help with further improvements. Thanks
Jerry
This works really well, I’ve been using the Rosseau 5000 and although it definitely help, this works much better and I’m removing the R5000, thanks for a great product.
William K.
I was extremely happy that Shop nation included the Hercules chopsaw. I ordered the desk collection. And replaced the original equipment, manufacturing dust collection, and was extremely impressed. Admittedly, I’ve not put it through the pieces but so far it’s been great. I will have to say, I’m so glad that nation took the time to improve what we all know is a need for improve dust collection. Plus by the way it looks pretty rock and cool.
Robert P.
I was skeptical but decided to give it a try. To my surprise, it works very well. There is still some dust but not anything like before with the useless factory item that collapsed inward when a vacuum was attached. This attachment fits well, is close to the blade for efficiency yet is not in the way. The hose coupling was well designed and attaches cleanly on the top of the saw, out of the way. Well done!
Leif P.
I, like others, can attest to the fact we use our miters saws quite a bit. Unfortunately it makes a mess that can be a pain to deal with. I made my miter table and was about to work on a a dust box to connect to my larger dust collector system. I saw this at Shop Nation and gave it a try. It is a game changer. I put it with a large shop vac, a cyclone collector and a timed switch to turn it on when I start the miter saw. I could not be happier and do not at this moment plan on building the box behind the saw.
Logan W.
Works perfectly for my small space to help control the dust. Spend less time sweeping!
Bob D.
This new desk collection accessory for my Hercules miter saw certainly catches more of the sawdust than the original dust collection system on the saw.
Anthony A.
The amount of Saw Dust that this New one removes compared to the manufacturers Dust port is Crazy, this New one serves its main purpose perfectly, Shop Nation Rocks! Very easy to install looks good on the Machine and really makes a difference, and all I used was a Shop Vac with a 55 gal Drum dust collection that I put together, In the video you can actually hear the extra Sucktion for dust removal,
Anthony A.
Timothy T.
Only took a few moments to install, and has worked very well. The quality is very nice and everything fit like a glove. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
Pete N.
Works as advertised. Be careful if you have the adjustable fence all the way in and cut a tall board = 4x4 because the flap will get cut by the blade. Easy fix with a bit of tape (and I purchased a second flap) but something to be aware of.
Luis G.
Easy to install and seems to work very well!
Jeff G.
Works great and easy to install.
jameson c M.
THE VACUUM ACCESSORY WORKS GREAT BUT THE VACUUM FITTING (WHICH I DID RECEIVE IN THE SHIPMENT) DIDN'T FIT A RIGID 2.5 INCH HOSE.. WOUND UP USING TAPE UNTIL I FIND A BETTER SOLUTION.
Paul J. S.
Great operation!
