Saw Model
Optional Accessories
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 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.

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.

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

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.
Gerald B.
Before using this product, I cut 25 spindles for my deck and it made a mess, I installed the product and cut 75 more, I was amazed on how clean my work area was. Definitely an improvement over the original equipment.
Ralph Z.
I want this dust shield but it does not fit my saw , I have a Ridgid 12 in miter saw . I am sending it back to you .
Gerald
Love it, I cut 75 spindles for my deck and had hardly any mess to clean up. So far so good.
Javier
Terrific product! Terrific seller!
David
Going to be honest I knew about this product long before I bought my delta, so I knew the dust collection was abismal. Well a year later decided to buy this finally. I put it on and did 10 cuts and was amazed at the difference, I would say the biggest difference is not getting hit in the face with saw dust and chips on every cut. Very well done!
David P.
This works wonderfully on my Ridgid sliding miter saw. I hardly have a speck of sawdust get out…..really!
The piece which you attach your shop hose to does not fit a standard sized hose from a Ridged shop vac well at all……so I just continue to use the stock piece and it works great.
Pete L.
This is my 2nd one because I blew up the first one. My fault, if it happens again well I tried! Thanks!
Ryan S.
Was easy to install and works great. Much better than the OEM one.

I hated to use my saw before I installed the new dust collector. What an incredible difference. Literally a 95% improvement.
Nichole A.
Was a bit of a fight to get it screwed in. But we got it and it works amazingly well. I'd definitely recommend to anyone and everyone.
Kevin M.
The 3D printed dust collection device worked great for a few days, but then it broke. It needs to be molded or printed with more durable material.
Paul S.
Huge improvement in dust collection!
derek d.
It is so much better than the factory dust chute that is 100% for sure and it works as it should and is designed for. With that all being said, yes it is a bit of pain to install, gotta have the correct torx size and also have it be long enough to get right up into the throat of the chute, now there is nothing that Shop Nation can do about this, just gotta be patient is all. This is my third time buying this product due to the previous 2 shattered due to cutting small pieces off, it is just something that happens time to time with a miter saw. Shop Nation released a video going over this exact issue and the tests he did to try and mitigate this issue, thinking it is just a part of doing business and purchasing a "consumable" part. Bottom line, this chute is so effective that yeah when I shatter one I go out and buy another,
Chavis S.
Purchased one a year ago. Upon the first few tries i got some kickback that shattered my dust collection. This one appears to be. Design improvement. That, along with better shop practices, I can say this does the job and does it well.
Joe G.
Fit my Delta Cruzer 12" perfectly. Really makes a difference with dust collection, too. Wasn't difficult to install, especially using an extension drive, which really helps (and a flashlight). Highly recommend this upgrade, it has significantly cut down on sawdust around the saw after every cut! Only downside is the price, I find it a little high for a plastic 3D printed part. However, it came with the screws and two rubber sheets, even though only one is needed, so that was nice. Overall, I would purchase it again, so I guess the price really isn't too high.
Ryan A.
Major upgrade; worth every penny! Saw in original form sprays dust everywhere even with a very strong vacuum connected. After installing this upgrade, 95% of the dust is captured, and I am now actually enjoying using the saw. I have not tried any unusual cuts (bevel, miter, compound, crown, 4x4, etc) so I cannot speak to the accessory’s effectiveness or compatibility with those, but like most, 95% of my cuts will be 90° with small stock. Can’t recommend more highly!!
John K.
Unfortunately, this didn’t work out. My R4251 Ridgid Mitre saw must’ve had some changes. Extremely difficult to mount the collector and once I did it was hitting the blade. I even exchanged the saw and bought a second collector and same probs.
Wish it would’ve worked out.
Daniel S.
Real piece of junk All parts but clamp had problems and didn't allign shop nation won't do a thing
Tony B.
Waited a few weeks before sending a review in so I could test it out. While it was a bit of a pain to install (probably due more to me than the product) the difference in the amount of dust is very noticeable... almost to the point where I'm reconsidering whether or not I need hood around the saw.
Folks might complain about paying $50 for a piece of plastic but when you consider all the time spent creating this, it really is a reasonable cost.
Glenn C.
Easy install. Does a good job for my dust collection setup.
Bill
Definitely much better than the provided dust collection…difficult to mount and reach screws with blade attached … difficult to mount blade with dust collection attached
David J.
great improvement. Good product. Keep up the good work
Michael B.
The upgraded dust collection chute is a game changer. The reduction in dust is night and day. I added it to my saw after I built my miter saw station and was absolutely thrilled right out of the gate. Unfortunately a short time after I bought it I accidentally launched a small hardwood offcut from lifting the saw up too early after the cut and blasted a huge hole through the brand new chute. I was bumming to say the least. I shot an email to Travis explaining what happened and asked if he would offer me a replacement at a discount and he did exactly that. Thanks a lot!!! One last pro tip…a 12” extra long Torx T20 screwdriver proves incredibly useful for the installation process of the screws that secure the chute!!!
David P.
Great accessory for the miter saw. Works very well. Just need to be careful with cutting small parts as the material might get kicked back into the dust chute. Ask me how I know! :c)
Chris S.
The dust collection is great. However, there are three major problems with this piece:
1) Durability. It is 3D printed and after just a few weeks it gave out because it melted too much and gave up.
2) It greatly limits the capacity of the saw. You can't do 45 degree cuts and you can't cut anything thicker than about 1-3/4".
3) It is a pain to install, and you have to either remove it to change the blade or you have to spend extra time trying to wiggle the blade past it.
Any one of these I might be able to live with because, like I said, it does funnel dust well. However, all three of these make this quite honestly unusable. It needs more testing and improvement before you can charge $45 dollars for this.
Ben H.
Straightforward install with some extensions and small torx bits.
Massively reduces the amount of dust flying around when paired with a standard shop vac.
Just what the saw was missing!
Scott G.
Perfect fit, however it’s a tight window to attach with the blade on. Works infinitely better than the stock setup and paired with a zero clearance insert helps minimize dust clouds! This is a great addition to my Delta Cruzer - I also installed one on my Dewalt slider. I’m converting the cabin on my property to a workshop and that’s where the Delta resides. Dewalt is in pole barn.
Anthony I.
I’ve been using miter saws for a number of years. Anybody that has knows the dust collection for them is awful. The delta cruzer I just purchased exceeds anything I have ever experienced. It is like trying to see through an Arizona dust storm. The ShopNation dust collector was the best $50 ish spent. Glad I don’t have to use the saw with my eyes closed now. Thanks for the improvement. Also note, the saw itself out of the box was awesome! This just made it better.
Thanks
Gregory M.
The addition of the desk collection on the miter saw makes my workstation that much more pristine and organized without all the dust going into all of my tool bins. I’m very happy with this purchase and Travis should be very pleased with the design that he put out.
Mark
Works perfect and looks great!
mark d.
It works great and has made such a difference. Easy to install and even easier to use
Joshua S.
I loved the piece it worked great I need another one it broke after 1 week of use I have no problem getting another dust chute the design is great just cracked then blew out
Scott M.
I’ve mad several attempts of capturing sawdust off my chop saw & everyone failed.
Easy install and works great
Robert T.
I recently purchase the 12 in. Dual Bevel Sliding Miter Saw to replace my old DeWalt saw. I order the dust collection kit from Shop Nation at the same time. I'm preparing to build a new miter saw station for the Rigid and wanted improved dust collection before starting the project.
Installation of the new dust boot was simple and completed in 10 minutes with only 2 tools, phillips screwdriver and torx bit. All of the parts fit perfectly!
I made a couple of cuts with the Rigid before installing the new dust boot. After installation, the saw dust escaping was reduced by at least 90%. For me this is a huge improvement in keeping my basement shop free of dust and wood chips.
There are 2 drawbacks to using this system. You can't make miter cuts and the fence needs to be opened enough the clear the dust boot which can lead to chip out on the back of cuts. Since 90% of the cuts I make on the saw will be 90 degree cuts, this is not a big problem for me.
Gary B.
Easy installation and works really good. Takes away about 80% of the sawdust
Gerard J. M.
Love this genius Improvement! This dust collection chute is so efficient that I seldom have to sweep the garage floor after using the mitre saw!
William C. B.
The dust collection works great with thd addition of a shop vacuum. But, even without the vacuum , a night and fay difference. My only complaint was that the 2 1/2" vacuum adapter needed to be "tweaked" to fit the hose. Also the ridgid plastic for that adapter does not grip the hose well. A bit of tape fixes that. This particular part needs to be made of a rubbery material for better hose grip.
Joshua M.
I wanted to support local small business so I ordered the version for the Delta Cruzer 10” with the hose adapter. First I wish there were instructions included. Seems self explanatory but I found out the hard way that if you install it with the blade off, which is much easier, you can’t get the blade back on. So you have to install it with the blade on, which is a pain. And you have to take it to take it off to change blades. Next negative is it limits the width and the thickness of stock you can cut because it hangs so low. It also hits the back of the saw so you have to use a low sacrificial low fence or won’t move all the way back, which limits the width cut, and a taller, steadier, fence. And lastly the hose adapter didn’t fit tightly on mine, so I used some tape to fill the gap. On the plus side if you’re cutting small stock the dust collection is better than the factory. Not sure if the other models have the same issues but for me its con’s outweigh the pro’s.
Steven L.
Bought the kit and it is fantastic. I'd say it reduced my dust by 80-90%. I really didn't expect it to work as well as it does but I am super happy at how well it works!
Marlin N.
The fit was good and it really helped with the dust collection. Would recommend it to everyone
Gary b.
The chute interfere with 45 degree slanted mitre. The rubber chute has pulled out.
