Product details
Let's be honest, at least Makita made an attempt to improve the dust collection out of the box. This solution will replace the stock upper dust chute that come on your Makita 12" LS1219L or 10" LS1019L Double Bevel Compound Sliding Miter Saw! You will see a HUGE improvement in dust collection efficiency with this upgrade - all without compromising the capacity or range of motion on your saw. In the rare cases where it does get in the way, simply remove it via the (3) thumb screws in about 15 seconds!
NOTE: This solution is designed SPECIFICALLY for models LS1219L & LS1019L. You MUST specify which saw model you have when ordering! There is no guarantee that this will fit any other saw.
Miter saw is NOT included - shown for demonstration purposes only!

Fit, made for the Makita Miter Saw
Factory chute vs. Shop Nation
See the difference
Factory dust chutes leave a gap right where the blade throws the most debris. Ours is engineered around the Makita Miter Saw to close it and steer chips into your hose, so they stop ending up on the floor, the fence and in your lungs.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Which saws does it fit?
It's made specifically for the Makita Miter Saw. Pick your model in the selector above to get the right fit.
Do I need a vacuum or dust collector?
Yes. The chute steers debris into your hose, so you'll need a shop vac or dust collector connected to it to get the full benefit.
How hard is it to install?
It's straightforward. It bolts into the same spot as the factory chute, with no cutting, drilling or modification to your saw. Most installs take a few minutes.
Can I go back to the factory chute?
Yes. Nothing on your saw is modified, so you can put the stock chute back on any time.
How much of a difference does it really make?
A big one. The chute closes the gap where factory chutes let the most debris escape, so far more chips end up in your vac instead of on the floor, the fence and in the air. Read what 133 woodworkers say in the reviews above.

This modification to my Makita 10” compound miter saw is wonderful. I connected it to my Harbor Freight dust collector with Carbon Method 2-1/2” magnetic dust clamps, for easy on and off with various power tools. The Shopnation dust catcher gets virtually all the debris from a stack of 6” wide hardwood and cabinet plywood I was cutting.
Love the Shop Nation dust chute and attachments. Significant difference from the OEM dust chute. You can physically see the dust being beaten into submission as if it owed my "collector" a debt (pun intended). Although I love Makita's design with the ability of two different ports on the LS1219L, I didn't love the dust chute on the saw head, or the anemic pipe connecting the two chutes (sourcing from one collector). This is a new saw on an existing miter station, which I already had set up for a shop vac going to the saw head and also a dedicated small dust collector with a 4 inch pipe collecting ambient dust behind the saw. With the new saw, I simply hooked up the shop vac to the saw head, but on the dedicated dust collector, I was able to neck down from 4" to 2.5" on the bottom chute of the LS1219L, so I can have both dust chutes operational (one with Shop vac and other with Collector) without sacrificing reduced air flow to both chutes. I had already removed the upper portion from the fence assembly (prior to watching Shop Nations install video) because it would block and deflect dust outward, and subsequently away from the chutes. so this is recommended even without the D.C. upgrade. TLDR: Definitely worth the purchase; huge quality of life upgrade.
Easy installation and definite improvement in dust collection.
I am truly amazed at how much this improved my dust collection, I coupled this with an automated switch and dust is not an issue, of course a little makes it but it’s minimal. Buy this upgrade asap
100% better dust collection compared to stock. Quality part, fit is perfect.
It was easy to install. Everything came with the order. Your product does collect way more than the stock version. Nothing collects 100% but even with repeat cuts there was less dust around base of the saw. Makes you excited to make dust again.
See video. Not happy
The screw inserts were misaligned, I had to modify the back of chute in order to use the misaligned screw inserts. I wish the company would send me a better fitting part.
Rear thumb screw cannot engage nutsert; looks like the nutsert was pushed into the plastic too far and at an angle. Unable to secure the rear thumb screw at all...
Well engineered. A quality product for sure.
Overall I am happy with this product. I do wish you would include in the advertisement that the fence extensions cannot be used on the Makita saw. Also I wish you would produce a 90 degree elbow for the exhaust port so the tool could be located closer to the wall. Finally you sent me 2 units and I only ordered and paid for one. If you want to send a postage paid label I will return it.
I’d love to give this thing 5 stars because it addresses a vital need in the shop. My issue is that it clogs constantly. Has anyone else had the same issue as me? Is there something I can do to address the issue?
I don't appreciate that I have to watch a video for installation instructions.
Definitely collects dust but doesn't work well with fence have to remove or it won't slide back
Its good quality and works great, but i was disappointed to find out, after I got it, that I can not use my fence. That might have influenced my purchase.
Super simple installation. I haven’t used it a lot yet but it is a definite improvement.
Very simple install. I did remove the lower "shute" vs. leaving it there. That eliminates the shoving into it every time the saw goes back. All in all does a much better job of dust collection. As you note not 100%. I did accidentally "mangle" the rubber shroud and will need to replace it. I was making a 90cut on a 3.500 x 3.500 table leg blank. I should have looked closer. Upon the saw going back into the cut it shoved the rubber shroud up and forward into the saw, which cut it in a couple of places. Bottom line the shroud hangs down below the max thickness cut of the saw. So I will need to remember to remove the shoot assembly when cutting material that is too thick. Are the rubber "shroud" pieces offered as a replacement item. I did get one extra.
Worked great and perfect fit
The dust collection is so much better. The install was a breeze. The only issue I have is having to remove the fence on my Makita saw due to the new dust collection system not being functional with it. It’s a small issue that I can work around, but all in all I pleased and happy to support a small business. Keep up the good work
Works great and very easy to install.
The new dust extractor attachment for my Makita LS1019L arrived quickly and was extremely easy to fit. The new Shop Nation dust extractor is a great improvement on the original Makita fitting. Many thanks.
solidly made, easy to install, and swap out.
Works great!
Exceeded my expectations!
It does a much better job with dust collection now. Miter saws are notoriously dusty, but this is a definite improvement.
Makita miter saws are notorious for pour dust collection. The Shop Nation solution improved this, but is still only getting 60% of the dust, at best. That said, the system is well made and easy to install. I would suggest that the rubber skirt be made deeper and wider. I may modify mine (in a lumber retail setting) to do just that.
I wasn’t sure about purchasing this one, because as the description says Makita is already doing a decent job of dust collection. However, after using the product, I can say it was totally worth the purchase, definitely an improvement. I have the 12 inch saw.
Works as advertised in my Makita 10” miter saw. Easy to install and clears 70% more dust than anything else I’ve tried. I highly recommend it.
Great customer service. Best alternative for dust collection so far.
I put the Shop Nation dust collector chute on my Makita miter saw and it reduced the dust I see around the saw by at least 90%. It works better on direct down cuts that on sliding cuts, but that is because the vacuum suction does not reach far enough--no fault of the product. I like watching the dust flying into the dust chute when I make a cut now, instead of going all over the place.
The chute is more efficient than I thought it would be. Using a good dust extractor is essential to the performance of the dust chute.
I was hopeful in that the upgraded dust chute would catch more dust, but in my opinion, it’s no better than the stock version. Not a big deal though I will continue to use it on my saw. The product is well made and installed easily
I like it
The rubber chute that goes into the provided bracket is not staying in place. Otherwise getting better dust collection
Missing parts. I emailed already about my missing parts and still haven’t heard back yet. Missing the 2 red plugs
Dust Collection Chute for Makita Miter Saw
Store owner replied: Hey Randy, as we stated in the email those red parts you are referring to are the old design. The product kit you received has the most up to date (and improved) parts to maximize dust collection
I might put a t in the line and have suction from top Port and the bottom as well
Easy to install ! Works great 👍 Very happy!
Much improved dust collection. Highly recommend.
Install per instructions. The adapter didn't fit the saw so I 3D printed my own adapter. I cut several blocks of wood and still had dust all over but the distribution was different. Had to vacuum further ot on left and right. Not sure what, if anything, was accomplished.
