Delta Cruzer Miter Saw Dust Collection

it’s no good cutting MDF. it still sprays everywhere. It’s no good cutting thick material 2 inches and up, it sprays everywhere. I don’t get all the hype.

Love the product would like to see a throat plate design for the delta cruzer with your skills I'm sure it would be amazing

I decided to upgrade my 30 year old Delta miter saw with a 10" Cruzer. I was well aware of the dust collection short comings of the stock dust chute. I ordered the ShopNation kit the same day that ordered the saw. All I can say is WOW! What an improvement, very effective. Installation was straight forward, only two screws. However the original screws were a bit too short for the new chute. Not a problem as I had some longer m5 screws on hand. The only thing to be aware of is I can't see anyway to install or remove the blade without removing the chute first. Not a big deal as I am more then happy to have the superior dust collection.

Love the quality, I had broke the other one thru no fault of the product. A jam to improper set up was the cause. I for some reason probably my mistake received two and charged for two. If I could get a return label, I'll ship the other one back in the original box never been removed. And hopefully get a refund for one after you receive the one back. Product is excellent.

Works so much better than the stock one. Wish I would have bought it sooner. Worth every penny.

works great!

Works great. Love it.

I love the adaptor as fitted on my Delta Cruzer saw. It greatly enhances the sawdust collection, but has one feature that I'm having problems dealing with. With the adapter installed, it prevents my saw from making a complete 45 degree cut. At the end of the cut, the adapter makes contact with the top of the saws guide surface and I'm left with about 1/4 inch of my board left uncut. I ordered two of these adapters, one for the Cruzer and the other for the compound saw. Happy with the results, except for this one problem. Maybe another look from the design team.

I have a model 26–2 312 bought it not knowing whether the 2251 was compatible before the order got here. I finally got a hold of Delta and this they said the 2312 had upgrades but the dust collection system was not part of it, so the 26–2251 does fit on the 2312 model and that works wonderful

Works great

It’s probably user errors, but this thing is a pain to install using the existing screws. They don’t seem quite long enough especially when compared to the thin thickness of the stock dust collector. Seems well made, but after a while I realized I won’t want to go through this again when I need to make beveled cuts.

It's a great product. My miter station is lot cleaner now.

First of all this little gadget actually does help dust collection over the OEM. It's not perfect, but enough better so that when I cut into a very hard knot and it exploded and demolished the chute I bought a year ago, I immediately put in an order for another Shop Nation Delta Chute. When I went to screw in the new chute using the OEM M5-.08x10mm self tapping screws, they would not grab. After looking at what was left of the old one, I realized the new one had quite a bit thicker mounting flange than the old one. Normally this might be a good thing. (stronger) but in this case the original screws wouldn't catch enough thread to pull in and tighten. The self tapping screws are tapered at the ends so you don't get thread engagement for the first 2-3mm. I dug around in my quite limited stock of metric screws and found a standard M5-.08x12mm hex head screw. It went right in and tightened up.. Yea!! I will also mention that getting the blade back on the arbor with the chute in place is a bit of a challenge. I had to stress the sides of the chute a little with the saw blade in order to slide it up in place. I might have been able to get the chute on with the blade in place, but it looked pretty tight up there.

It seems to be significant improvement, but I'm really skeptical of the having to remove it, just to change the blade(not easy). I haven't used it a lot yet. We'll see............

Fairly bulky. Have to make sure fences are moved out of way. It fell off while cutting cause fence was not moved all the way over. Not super impressed

Good idea but poor execution. Removing the OEM collector required almost standing on your head then having to replace it with this one required leaving the blade on compounding the difficulty. As I said it’s a good idea but the design left this a part that needs better manufacturing and easier installation. Without serious determination to make it work, most guys would just return it.

I really like the concept. The fit on my Delta Cruizer was good except one of the screws would not catch the threads so I had to remove some of the material from the dust collector to secure it. Otherwise everything is working well.

The fit is perfect, and it does improve dust collection quite a bit. The reason for only four stars is because it eliminates the use of a vertical zero clearance fence. Other than that, this upgrade very nice.

Works great! Very happy with it.

Gathers a lot of the saw dust but not as much as in the videos, especially hooked to my 2hp dust collector direst. I am in the middle of the road, cool concept.

You know I was very happy with the shop nation product until a little kick back happened a shattered the new dust collector well I ordered another one caulked it up to my mistake so I ordered another then the unexpected happen again just frustrated at this point. So I reached out to shop nation and it went though the channel and they did replace the last one I was expecting to have to buy another but they said it was under warranty. Thank God because I was very reluctant about ordering another one but the customer service is top notch. Did get to talk to anyone but they did replace one of them. Which is is not the norm but they did replace it. Awesome

Install video could have added: Unplug the power to the saw first (common sense, I know, but still...); Why there are only four screws connecting the rubber chute when the video shows 6 or more; how to remove the handle so the adapter can be installed.

Easy to install and does a much better job than the factory "collection system" does.

It does collect dust well, but is has some major flaws that restricts the adjustable wings and thick of cut capacity.

I was dubious about the product but the sawdust was overwhelming and I needed to do something. I just got a new miter saw, Delta Cruzer, and it was making as big a mess as my very old DeWalt. When I looked at the install procedure I was a little worried about finding the screws to remove the old shut but with a longer screwdriver it came out pretty easy. Now I was worried about putting the new shut in. The screw on the left was easy but I really couldn't see the one on the right. I realized that I could hold the screw in place from the top and was as easy as the other side. The best new is, is that it really works. Not 100%, I'd say more like 80 to 90% but that's a whole lot better than the mess I was making before Shop Nation dust collection solution.

I love this miter saw dust collection chute for mt Delta miter saw. Unfortunately this is my third one now, since they easily get destroyed if a Board lets loose and slams into it. This is my problem not your. This could easily be remedied if I just clamped down the board.

Works great, just be careful with thick wide boards

Never received the product yet. I been waiting for it but it doesn’t look like it’s coming anytime soon. At this point I’m disappointed.

I bought two of your mitre saw dust chutes and both of them broke. First one I thought was my fault but ou really shouldn't be charging more than a finished product price for something that is as prone to failure. It's not a finished product unless you go through industrially processed material trials as opposed to just what's on hand and cheap - this is not industrial design. You also can't make a video that tells people to make another attachment to help your product that you sell for a $50+. It reminds me of when apple placed the antenna on their iphone in a poor spot and they told customers to hold their phone differently.

I had installed the unit and in 10 min. The unit broke a piece of wood had ran up in it and scattered the collector. The durability it not there. So did not get to really use so there was frustration.

System works better than stock, however installing it was harder than shown in the video,, I had to take the blade out in order to install the screws,, overall it works great

Didnt even last a day before it broke. The restrictions that it has is not worth the dust convenience.

Shipping was fast and the price was fair, the product however was definitely way lower quality than what I expected. The print lines were horrible and looked as though it was printed on an off the shelf $100 printer with stock settings. I will say that two of the three items I got were good but the main item was the issue. (The dust extractor replacement for the delta cruzer 12 inch)I haven't used my saw yet but I would imagine it should work even though print quality isn't very good.

Very pleased with my experience with Shop Nation! I purchased the dust collection chute for my Delta Cruzer and it significantly cut down on the amount of dust! Unfortunately I was cutting a piece of PVC and it backfired on me (my fault completely). It shattered the chute but luckily I kept all my fingers. I reached out to Shop Nation and shared my experience. They totally came through for me and made it right. It's nice to see people still doing good business out there!

Works great

Took a bit of a risk purchasing this, since I didn’t know if it was compatible with the newer version of the Delta Cruzer 12” sliding miter saw (Model No 26-2312). I’m happy to report that it fits perfectly and seems to be MUCH better than the stock dust chute. I have it connected to a simple dust collection system (Dustopper Pro connected to a Ridgid shop vac). SO satisfying seeing all the debris go through and into the cyclone system.

Easy installation. Huge improvement in dust collection.

Installed as instructions. First cut the blade guard was pushed into the blade by the dust chute and destroyed one side before it stoped .Been a carpenter and a GC for 50 years so I’m pretty sure it was installed properly. Product is a good idea but just not for me. I’ll deal with the sawdust

awesome!

Absolutely worthless product. Was actually less effective than dust catch that came with the saw, by far. Complete false advertising.

Makes a huge difference. so much better than the one it came with. I'm glad I found your youtube channel.

The replacement part works well. I’m just afraid another piece of wood is gonna kick back and break it again. There is way less dust with this design so if it was more sturdy, I would give it five stars.

The instructions could be better. I have a college degree and consider myself mechanically inclined, yet I initially started removing the wrong installation screws. I question the QA/QC of production. My dust collector adapter cracked while trying to install it. There seemed to be inconsistencies on the inside of the adapter and the plastic seemed brittle. I reached out by email to resolve the issue and didn't receive a response. Hopefully, PayPal will make it right.

Nice design and print. Makes a HUGE difference on the dust collection. Only complaint is angled adapter which you need on the Cruzer didn't fit my Fein dust collector - not their fault.

Second time buying this. Works fine, but the first time a small piece of wood got caught on the blade after a cut and was sent into this collector. It shattered the 3d printing material into many pieces of shrapnel. Whole piece exploded. I should've been more careful on taking a small amount off a piece of wood with no fence backing, but this thing can compound an error you make. Definitely want to use all safety equipment while this is installed.

Absolutely the best in communication, product, and customer service. If you’re on the fence about how much this improves dust collection. Well my friend you need a push, I’ll never run my miter saw without it and once you try it neither will you.

Was OK. Thanks

Customer service from Travis is nonexistent! I bought my first one way back in 2022, and it exploded from an off cut being hurled through the poorly manufactured 3D printed plastic. I asked for a replacement, and was denied! So I bit the bullet and swallowed my pride and bought a replacement. God help him if this one fails!

Great! Communication was excellent. Install was a PIA but what a difference it makes. Would have been easier with an extended Torx bit.

Perfect fit, easy install. great improvement from factory collection. Customer service went above and beyond my expectation in resolving a shipping issue. I highly recommend this product and this company

Amazing, almost no dust. Love it.

The good - it worked as promised. I'm now catching the majority of saw dust with a shop vac. The not so good - I didn't realize the chute needs to come off when changing (or cleaning) the blade. In my opinion, that puts more wear and tear on the screws and threads that hold it on. All in all, it's a good investment.

Nicely

I bought it to replace the one I inadvertently exploded with a short off cut.

I bought one of these a year ago and it works great. I had a kick back that broke it when the blade lost a tooth. This unit is a replacement. We used the saw for a few days whiles waiting for the replacement to arrive. The extra clean up was noticeable. This part saves a lot of time.

Works well

Great product! Exact fit, easy install, and definitely a big improvement compared to factory chute. Customer service went above and beyond my expectations in regard to a delivery issue. It was pleasant dealing with a company that puts customer satisfaction first. I recommend this product and this company.

Had to shave down the left side the get it to line up with the blade. But it sucks well!

I have tried several methods trying to collect the dust from my Delta miter saw. None were very successful. This attachment is working better than I expected. Very pleased with it. Only con is that you have to remove it to change the blade but I can live with that.

Works great!!

Amazing difference in the dust collection. Too bad miter saw manufacturers make us resort to aftermarket stuff.

I’m a bit disappointed that the 45 degree doesn’t clear the saw. Also it interferes on a 45 degree angle to the right when cutting a 5” wide board. But is does a pretty nice job collecting the dust from the saw paired with a 6.5hp shop vac.

connection to 1.2 inch hose has little room to connect. That end could be longer to Facilite a hose clamp

easy to install and works great.

Works good, shop stays clean!

Fit Perfect!

Considerably larger intake. Easy to install, just two screws. Works 100% better than standard dust collection. Included everything I needed and more. A++

Works just as advertised

I liked the last 2 of them, hope this one doesn't get shattered.

The kit arrived and looked great! Installation was super easy thanks to the video instruction. After install, I cut a couple pieces of some cedar. Dust collection was phenomenal especially compared to the stock collection. Great purchase!

Overall it has been a good product and has helped with dust collection quite a bit. The only negative I have is that the supplied rubber strips that attach to the piece to deflect sawdust were a little bit short, which makes attaching them difficult and the first few times I used it they fell off.

Works great it really sucks BUT, even with a shop vac with a 1 1/2” hose it has a tendency to collapse the rubber collar. Maybe needs to be just a tad stiffer. Does pick up 90% of dust. Very happy so far. Imho

Great

It was horrible! Takes forever to install, screws are very hard to get to, (real pain) and you need to un-install and re-install every time you change blades! Plus, I don't think you can bevel cut a far as they say you can. Just me but... If I coould get a refund I would but waited too to install it. Took it off, put OEM back on. NOT WORTH IT!

Thank you! Appreciate all you do.

Love the product, it’s my second one after I blew up the first one with a loose board (my fault). Wish it didn’t take over a week for it to ship.

The installation process was straightforward and hassle-free, making it a convenient upgrade. This new dust collection chute significantly enhances performance compared to the original one that came with the saw. The improved design effectively captures more sawdust and debris, resulting in a cleaner workspace and better visibility while working. Overall, it has greatly improved the efficiency of dust management during use.

I was extremely impressed with how much it improved the dust collection. I will definitely buy again if need be.

Works great !!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the best for a miter saw. Nothing will ever make it dust free, but this definitely helps.

The modification does improve the standard dust collection but still leaves a mess.

Works very well Very difficult to get screws in the new chute.

It works great! Thank you.

I purchased this product to replace one I bought before that exploded due to an off cut shooting through it. I’m always careful to let the blade stop before raising it to keep small off cuts from getting thrown but one got away from me. Nevertheless, the new dust shoot looks better than the old one. I definitely recommend getting one of these.

Great communication with me when I had a question about shipping. The dust chute was easy to install and has drastically cut down on the dust. I would highly recommend this product.

Broke the old one doing a compound miter. It hits the fence. Went back the original equipment chute, while I was waiting for replacement. The performance difference between the OE chute and your chute is night and day. Great product.

Works awesome. I highly recommend! Quick and Easy ordering process.

You NEED to include installation instructions!!!!!

The part looks good and expect it to perform as advertised. I have not installed it yet...

Doesn’t fit my saw!

Works great

Works great

It works but I wish I didn’t have to remove it every time I need to replace the blade

Excellent!

Closest your going to get to dust free!

Great product. The difference in dust collection on a tool that is notoriously difficult to collect from is huge. I can't imagine running a saw without one now. Night and day from the factory collector.

I could not change the blade on my 12" Delta Cruzer without removing the Shop Nation dust collector. It's a pain in the a$$.

Travis absolutely killed it with this dust shoot for the Delta Cruzer. Of course, the miter saw is the biggest contributor to rouge dust in the shop - this modification greatly reduces the amount that is sprayed around the shop. 10/10 recommend! Find the one for your saw!

The fit is bigger than the stock and limits the use of any zero clearance fence to cut small pieces safely. I am very disappointed.

the dust collections is improved. however it is difficult to get complete cuts. The size of the new dust shoot stops the saw from cutting completely through the lumber leaving a small piece attached to the stock. I like the improved dust collection but I will remove as i am not willing to sacrifice normal performance of the saw..
