Drastically improve the dust collection on your RIDGID Dual Bevel Miter Saw (with articulating arms) with this 3D Printed dust chute. It requires NO modification of the saw and bolts in the exact same spot as the stock dust chute.
NOTE: This solution is designed SPECIFICALLY for the Ridgid models R4251, R4231, and R4241 model numbers. It will also fit the Delta Cruzer models 26-2251 & 26-2241 but there is a separate listing for the Delta version
Dust Chute Benefits:
- Massive improvement in dust collection with a standard shop vac (~100 CFM airflow)
- Can be used in *most* mitered cuts without removal. Due to the saw's small size it cannot be used in full 45 degree bevel cuts...unfortunately
- Allows clearance for most common lumber dimensions
- Keeps your shop clean(er)!
This product includes:
(1) Dust Collection Chute Body
(2) Flexible rubber flaps
(4) Flap Mounting Screws
(1) Install Card with QR Code for complete installation video
You can also opt for "the works" which also includes a 3D printed dust collection hose adapter (for standard 2-1/2" dust collection hoses), and a wall hose guide.

Not working as advertised. Can’t even get it installed.
Tom S.
Part as received works great, a small alteration makes it even better.
Shaana M.
Initially I didn't think it would work but once my husband assisted, I got it installed properly and I love it! It works great and definitely cuts down on dust and chips getting everywhere! Love it!
Charles A.
works great!!! now to hook up a dust collection system
Colonel C.
I can't get over the amount of dust this collects. I recently made over a dozen cuts in cedar and there is barely anything on the saw. Should not have waited as long as I did to buy one.
matthew n.
Works well but it would be nice to have the ability to change the blade without taking it off.
Russell C.
Works nuch better than stock one.
Marshall B.
This is my second one. Works as advertised.
Michael R.
Does not fit my saw! And you don’t offer any that does!!!
Ron M.
Very easy to install and works as promised!!!
Philip J.
This is my second dust collector for my Rigid miter saw. The first one was damaged by a kickback that was my fault. I would rather order a new one than go back to the factory dust collector. The shop nation units are so good.
Roger B.
Works great!!!!
Edward G.
Works great. Definitely a big improvement from stock
Brandon D.
Works as advertised!! I’m happy to not have so much clean up after a lot of cutting! I highly recommend getting one!
Chris D.
No product can capture 100% of the dust, but this product GREATLY reduced it. Great design, fast shipping. I’m 100% satisfied and would buy it again. Including an extra flexible shield for when the first one wears out was a very nice and unexpected plus.
John H.
First one exploded into tiny shards. Hopefully this one holds up better.
Hector S.
Good communication
John K.
Installed and it mated up works well
Chris S.
Didn't fit and had to pay for shipping it back
Philip J.
This product fixes all the issues with the Rigid miter saw. I was able to replace the dust catcher and appreciated the well thought out video. It told me I needed an extender for my driver and it guided me through the install process. I had ordered the elbow to connect the shop vac and hose bracket but haven't used those yet. I installed it and had to wait a couple of weeks before I could use the saw. Today I got it all hooked up and ran through many cuts. It works like a champ and cut the dust way down in my garage. I appreciate the hard work that went into making this design flawless. Seriously, it does an amazing job and catches more dust than I thought it would. Well done on this design and your products
Tyler G.
Blade rubbed against chute when it’s installed, wasn’t expecting that.
Dust collection isn’t much better than the stock chute.
Can’t use with my shop vac as the flexible rubber piece just folds in on itself.
Drew H.
Great product. Very pleased
John S.
Works great so far.
Joe N.
Next to impossible to install. I should have placed a new blade on before adding the shoot. I can't imaging having to install this again. As far as it working, blah just ok.
Timothy O.
I ordered the part for a Rigid Dual Miter saw. The part I received did not work on my model. It took multiple messages to obtain a return shipping label. I returned the product but have yet to see a credit for my return
Steve H.
It works good but the rubber skirt gets sucked into the blade and blocks the chute. Might need a stiffed material.
Patrick B.
Great product. Second time purchasing as I blew up the first one after a piece of scrap blew out and got caught. Pricey mistake, but worthwhile to keep the mitre saw clean.
john m.
fractures too easily from those rare bits hitting the back of the shoot.
Rick D.
Can’t cut 45* with it on, so it’s of no use to me.
Soterios M.
Great product, super easy to install, and love supporting a local maker here in the United States.
Jason H.
MISSING PARTS NO RESPONSE FROM SELLER . SHOP IS NOT THE SELLER AND NO HELP. CONTACTED SELLER NO HELP. PRODUCT IS GARBAGE SAVE YOUR MONEY DO NOT BUY COMPLETE RIPOFF
David H.
I installed the dust collection device on my Ridgid miter saw. Everything works as advertised. I am extremely pleased with the device.
Martin J.
Broke the first time I used it.
Yes it eas installed correctly and fasteners were tight. Tried messaging on Instagram and no response.
Going to contact credit card company.
Absolutely JUNK!
Michael B.
Boy are you right. My Ridgid 10" miter saw is a confetti machine. I installed your chute and, as if by magic, dust actually got collected. Seriously, the design is great. The flexible "flap" continues to direct dust when riding over large cuts. I'm a 3d Maker and this is one of the best applications of the technology I've run across (even counting the Bat-a-Rang I printed over Christmas).
Well done.
William W.
Did not fit or work as advertised
Steven B.
Far better than the stock chute.
John V.
The dust collector works well, but I have two issues.
1) Although I don't change blades on my miter saw often, the need to first remove the dust collector is annoying.
2) A more serious problem is the outside edges of the rubber piece that gathers much of the offshoot from the blade, continually gets sucked into the dust collector and effectively closes the gaps up to the blade. Either need to trim it a bit or add some kind of stiffener.
Samuel C.
Works well except when miter is at 45 degrees. It bumps into the fence at the end of the cut.
Larry B.
Will fine if I don’t blow a piece of knot through it!
Michael M.
This work great considering this saw has terrible dust collection from the factory. This is a must have upgrade.
Kevin E.
I’d love to tell you what I think about it, but I’ll have to get it installed first. It’s almost impossible to get to the screws to install it.
David E.
A noticeable improvement to dust collection. By no means perfect but so much better than not having the chute. 2 issues for me. First off it’s fragile, one small off cut sucked up will shatter the plastic and render it useless. Ask me how I know. Also hinders the bevel capacity. Saw obviously wasn’t designed for a chute like this. Sure you can open the fence to max width but then you lose some stability with taller pieces. Is it an improvement… absolutely. Is it perfect, nope. Am I still buying them after breaking them… yep. Just my honest opinion.
Alan D.
I’m pleased with the fit and ease of installation; it does require widening the space in the fence to allow for clearance for the chute so that will impact my ability to cut shorter pieces that need support from the fence. Also, I haven’t yet noticed a discernible difference in the amount of dust collected, but I suspect that’s due to my crappy shop-vac setup rather than an issue with the chute. We’ll see after I install a better shop-vac and hose setup. Overall I’m happy with my purchase.
Martin G.
It is great. The only issue I had is with the vacuum being to powerful (a big dewalt) and bending the rubber flap. I got to modified it for the rubber not to be sucked by the vacuum. Can share pictures.
Dale E.
Great so far except the rubber flap keeps getting pulled into the chute then blocking the material. I'm just using standard rigid shop vac.
Jeff Y.
The fit and finish of the dust collector is great. It looks like it's actually part of the saw. I can't wait to see how it really works next time I have to use the saw.
Richard N.
Parts are excellent quality and the dust collection is greatly improved. The packaging is exceptional and shipping was fast. Overall very good experience.
Pedro F.
It definitely improves dust collection. Having a long T20 screwdriver is a must. The dust chute rubs on the blade which was not expected, it doesn't seem to affect the operation of the saw. While installing didn't take long -about 20 minutes - I think I got lucky installing the two T20 screws because visibility is nil. Can't bevel cut at 45 degrees but that was explained upfront. Changing the blade will be more difficult since it requires the removal of the chute. It does the job that it was designed to do, which is improving dust collection. I can see where Ridgid/Delta compromised on their design in order to make it where you can do full bevel cuts and easier blade changes. If I was to make bevel cuts often, this chute would not be a good option.
Robert L.
Works perfectly! The only issue is I was sent the wrong QR code so I had to find the correct video
james s.
only...tiny tiny drawback...hook up suction ans suction was such that the black diverter chute (flex chute closest to blade) got sucked inside tube and altered flow......have to figure some way to keep it more ridgid so that does not happen.
Ted T.
Works great! Cut down on dust by 85%.
Great invention. Thank you!
patrick g.
LOVE the product. Works GREAT !!! but I would like to see the rear of the chute reinforced a little better. If I am cutting small pieces, sometime they will be kicked up into the chute and I have broken 3 already. Over all a GREAT product.
Javier A U.
easy to install, noticeable difference!. Great product, I would recommend it to anyone.
Charles S.
Finally got to use my shop. Creating 125 small Christmas trees for the kids in a day care behind my shop. The dust collector worked great, could actually see the dust being pulled into the collector. Much less dust in and around my saw. Thanks for the great addition to help keep me and my shop cleaner.
Imran S.
Broke within first day
Rick L.
It’s a huge improvement over the factory dust shroud. I’m sure it will be even better when I’m finished tweaking my dust collection system. Thank you Shop Nation!
John E.
5 or 6 cuts it looked good. Cutting a small piece that popped up and shattered the chute. Plastic is too brittle.
Roger W.
Love it! Awesome design. You’re my hero!

I’m sorry to say that the installation of the new Rigid R4251 dust was a complete failure for my saw. The pictures attached will illustrate what a disaster it was. I installed the new collector last night and then tried it out today. I was cutting a 22.5 line on a 2x4 and it made a cut for about 3” and then the whole thing exploded. I was not hurt though completely startled! I also have little bits of plastic all over my garage workshop!
I followed all the installation instructions and tried the saw several times before attempting to cut the board. All seemed to be in order until it wasn’t!
I really wanted to improve my dust collection on my saw but this doesn’t seem to be the devise unless there was something defective about the one I used.
I am interested to hear what your thoughts are on this issue.
Jeffrey P.
It collects more sawdust than I expected. The threads for the mounting screws were a nice touch, and a necessity. I wished I got this 3-4 years ago, my work area would have appreciated this.
James R.
I am very happy with how the system collects dust, it works great. I do not like the idea that in order to change blades, I need to remove the system. That seems counterproductive to me.
I also suggest that you make the collar a little deeper on the hose adapter. My hose keeps falling out. I am planning on getting a dedicated hose that I can quickly connect to that will be away from all the movement on the saw. I am sure that will help.
Dallas L.
Went from dust everywhere to very little dust. Excellent!!
Hassan C.
Incredibly impressive, beyond expectation
Edward L.
Perfect fit, easy to install. If it collected half of what it does I would have been happy!
Dallas
Works fantastic! Went from heavy dust all over to barely noticeable. Before I even cut the first piece of wood, I could actually feel the suction from the dust port. I purchased "The works" but find my original dust port worked well and didn't interfere with the handle so I left that on and will keep the Shop Nation one as spare.
Jason S.
I thought you should know that, as I told you in a few emails, when you call something "the works" and show everything in the picture, including the expandable hose, you should include everything! Including the expandable hose. Not exclude that then charge them again to reorder and shipping.
You asked I submitted.
Spencer D.
I've had the chute for over a year and overall feel it has improved dust collection. Most of that time it was it my garage workshop and i was just do basic 90 degree cuts.
took it to an on site job and realized it does limit movement of the bevel - If you have the saw tilted to 45degrees the cute gets caught on the edge of the fence guide. Which requires you to lift the blade up move pass the fence, then lower again instead of doing a smooth pass. Was an ok work around until I didn't lift high enough, resulting in bumping the chute into the blade. Chute is now in multiple pieces.
So if you don't use the bevel feature - buy it. If you do a lot of bevel cuts, i recommend sticking with the stock chute.
Jane D.
Vast improvement in collecting dust. Purchased a long handle Torx 20 screwdriver that was a big help in the installation. Highly recommend!
bob b.
Great!
Russell M.
It does a lot better at collecting dust now. Thanks ShopNation

I a cidentlt ordered the wrong one. I have a rigid dual bevel saw but it didn’t fit the one I have.

Unfortunately i didnt have a chance to try the dust collector due to an error.. but the company is shipping me a new one . So ill be waiting for it and until then i can give a full review on the product.
Patrick R.
Did not fit my saw
Noah H.
Hope this review finds everyone well! It's a great idea but a tough execute. I will say the dust chute does improve collection a lot. It does have a few limiting factors such as cut depth of work pieces and the effort of changing a blade on your saw. You must remove the boot each time you have to change the blade and it being 3D printed the longevity isn't there and in my case I was cutting 1-7/8 cherry and a small piece of an end cut blew out and broke the back of the chute very easy. As said before great idea definitely could you some looking into I think I'll stick with the OEM chute and do a little more cleanup and not purchase another one.
Max L.
Amazing addition to this saw. Easily 80% better dust collection compared to oem.
Jeff B.
Works great but very fragile.
patrick g.
this is the 2nd one I purchased, and both work GREAT at keeping my shop cleaner and safer
Dan L.
I love this dust collector. It works amazingly and the customer support team was awesome with sending me a replacement!
Mike Y.
If I would have known just how horrible the saw dust collection was going to be on my Ridgid miter I would have chose another brand. Shop Nations retrofit kit is a game changer. 100% of the saw dust is not captured but my guess is by the lack of saw dust after a dozen or so cuts at least 75% of the saw dust was captured into my shop vac. That is a game changer. I was to the point where I was not using the miter saw because of the mess, now it is almost a non issue. Two thumbs up!
Mark T.
This vastly improved the dust collection.
Kyle L.
Dust collection is great but miter cuts are impossible on baseboard larger than 4” tall and for crown molding. I find myself removing the piece when transitioning between jobs.
Charles Y.
The dust collector shoot works well one I was able to get it installed. The hose adapter was worthless. The adapter that came with the saw is much better.
Chad C.
Order was delivered in a timely manner.
Kevin T.
The part works well, but I work a lot with rough cut or old barn wood and twice now a fairly small piece of wood has hit the part and it shattered. I’ve bought 2, shattered both, and won’t likely get a 3rd.
Glenn
Works Great!!!! Soooo much less dust now. Highly recommend. Easy install and quality printed product.
Robert H.
This is my second dust chute for my Delta Cruiser. The first one got caught by the blade and exploded - COMPLETELY my fault. But after knowing how great the dust/chip collection was with it I knew I had to replace it. Thanks for a great product that helps me keep my garage shop MUCH cleaner!
Joe m.
worked as demoed can't ask for anything more
Mark L.
The installation was easy and it improved my dust collectors effectiveness by quite a bit!
Tom G.
Received broken or should I say, unglued. The part was clearly glued (poorly) at the manufacturer and the glue joint came unglued before I received it. Customer service did say they would send me a new one.
George G.
USPS was slow but it arrived in good condition.
James J.
The difference is like night and day , dust free shop with it . Try one and you will never look back .
Mr Johnson
John S.
I am having some issues with my particular part, it appears the screw on the left hand side is not engaging the dust flap so it has slipped and gotten cut. In one picture you can see what happens when you don' t check the clearance between your fence and a 45 degree cut, lesson learned. Also getting the stock part out and getting the dust collector re-installed was a royal pain. Getting the right angle to do it and be able to see was hard. Not the fault of the dust chute, I blame Rigid.
Overall the instructions are great, the quality seems great and the packaging was really well done.
Rick K.
Fits Great. Works Great.
I have had 3 so far. No product failure. User failure.
Definitely will order in the future as needed.
Constantino M.
Purchased for the Delta Cruzer. Works beautifully, as advertised! Quality and fit are on the money. Very easy to install.
Michael T.
It’s a bit expensive but there is an obvious difference between this and the stock dust catcher. The stock is more like a dust distributor with sawdust going everywhere even with a vacuum. This does catch easily 90% of the sawdust. I wish it had a smaller vacuum attachment but most shops probably have bigger vacuum hoses anyway.
Dean S.
This thing works, it reduced my mess by at least 75%.
David N.
I use this saw for about a year before buying this. I knew about just didn't pull the trigger. Finally got frustrated with all the dust and all I can say is wow what a difference. It should come standard. It's not perfect but way better then I expected. Only minor complaint is it seems a bit thin especially around the sharp spinny bits. We'll see how well it lasts.
Matthew W.
Night and day difference. It really is a must have purchase for the rigid miter saw.
