Fits perfectly and definitely helps. Thank you

Assembly was a breeze. It collects about 30-40% more saw dust than not having it on. Still get a lot of dust shooting out the sides of the blade. Was it worth the price?? I would say yes and would buy again.

Great product just doesn’t fit my saw.

The mounting holes didn’t line up , but with a little rework I was able to deft installed properly.
I have only had a few occasions to test the dust shot, but it looks like it does a MUCH better job than all of my attempts to collect more saw dust.
On a miter saw no dust collection system is perfect, but this is the best one I’ve seen or used.
Good job!!!
FYI: Your customer service was awesome.
Michael M.
Piece works great. I was surprised how much more dust it picked up
Randy L.
Great product, nice quality and works well.

I work in IT, but for the life of me I cannot figure out to amend my old review, so I'm forced to submit this new one instead. Please feel free to delete my other review if you're able.
I originally gave this a 1 star due to the screw alignment issue, but Travis and his team really went all out to assist me and I'm more than pleased by the resolution. My expectations are tempered since miter saw dust collection is notoriously bad, but I think this is an overall improvement. I'd probably give 4 stars to the product itself, but after the great customer service, it's impossible to not give 5 stars.

This made a very noticable improvement in our school shop dust collection. I highly recommend.
Jay F.
Did not fit, but service is great!
Nagai R.
Somewhat useful. Does not collect dust as I expected.

I was excited to finally try out this innovation. The instruction video was clear on how to install it. So I removed the stock chute and installed this new chute. The screw holes didn’t match up on the right side. Seems like to shoulder was a bit high. I filed it down a bit and got the screws in. I plugged the big stock chute and tried a few cuts. As mentioned in the instruction video Makita has a pretty good stock system. There is an overall improvement. But I’m 90% sold on it and would probably recommend it to a friend. I’m keeping it on and see how it is doing on the long run.
Keith E.
Everything is great.
I did take the high fence off my Makita.
But after a couple of cuts it ripped the flex piece of rubber. Not sure way
Thanks
Guy B.
Definitely improved the dust collection!
Tim V.
This unit was a little tricky to install but once it was finally on it works great.
Daniel J.
Easy process and quick shipping. Dust collector adaptor works great!
Todd G.
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.
Nicholas S.
I product is ok. Doesn’t remove that much more saw dust and I don’t like the fact that I had to remove the back fence to make it work.
Keith P.
I don't think there's enough of a difference to justify the cost. Perhaps people who have bad dust pickup from their saws have inferior vacuums and hoses. I run an old 16-gallon ShopVac, and I use the yellow drywall filter bags. It has more suction than my Festool vac. It also has what I think is about a 1, 1/2" to 1, 3/4" hose that is a ShopVac optional accessory car vacuum hose that I cut to just the right length, and fits the saw perfectly, so perhaps that is the sweetspot diameter hose for best suction, plus the vac's power.

Unfortunately it didn't fit my saw, but my saw is older. Quality of the product is really good though.
Robert T.
Well fit product
michael w.
Pretty disappointed I wish I would’ve known it didn’t work with the original fence. If I could send it back to get my money back, I would.
Diana W.
This is a great improvement in dust collection, always the biggest problem with ALL miter saws. Thanks so much for the hours you spend finding solutions!

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...

I've been waiting for quite some time for the Makita LS1019L (10") miter saw dust upgrade kit, so I ordered it as soon as it was available. I did have a challenge with the install as the holes on the right side of my saw did not line up perfectly with the chute. With prompt help from their great support personnel, I got the chute installed. I plugged the existing lower chute on the saw with the plug that was provided, and started to make some test cuts. I am impressed, this upgraded chute design works VERY WELL! You do have to remove the upper fence on both sides to allow the new chute travel clearance but that is not an issue for me. It appears that this kit is well made and will last a long time Also, they do provide an additional rubber deflector in case the first one gets cut up.

Product came in quickly, and in great shape as it was well packaged. The parts are very well made and fit perfectly. It was very easy to install, just as shown in the installation video provided. It does require removal of the high fences, but some cutting on this saw also requires removing these high fences, and Makita actually makes removal of these fences very easy, no tools required. Dust collection with this upgrade has been excellent .
Doug B.
it took some grinding to make it fit
Toby R.
Nice to have on my saw.
Robert L.
This chute is an improvement over the stock device that came on the saw. Of course, there is still dust, at sometime in the future I will replace the table the saw is bolted to to a downdraft table that will be hooked up to my dust collector.
James Y.
Easy to put on, but didn’t work as well as description, in my opinion
Dan S.
I have noticed that the dust collection improved and am happy I purchased the product. I’m a little bummed i had to remove my high fences but understand why it needs to be done. After using my saw for awhile i’m not missing the higher fences like i thought i would. Thank you for making this product available. I’m very happy and would highly recommend it to my friends.
WAYMAN J.
Excellent product, excellent customer service.
Dan
Item does not fit my Makita LS-1019L - screw holes do not sit deep enough into dust port on saw to engage thumb screws. This is the same problem other reviews have mentioned.
Customer support appeared helpful at first with suggesting remedies, but then disappeared when I told them there was no way this thing was going to fit after trying all their suggestions.
Rexel G.
Easy too install. Very effective dust collection.
Bryan T.
This really helps with dust collection.
Guy S.
Minimal improvement.
Kenneth G.
Fits and works as advertised!
RONN G.
I do not see any improvement in dust collection.
John S.
Well engineered. A quality product for sure.
Terence D.
Too early to tell. Have not actually installed it yet, simple as that is. Certainly service was great and I have no complaints.
Niggling thought. I had trouble finding the installation video. Not much of a aell phone user but had to use the QR code reader to find the video. An http link would have been more useful to me.
Matthew K.
Works very well - would be even better if the bottom dust port was extended / expanded in some way to help catch what the upper replacement does not.
John F.
Significantly improve dust collection. Easy to install
Jonathan H.
As you’ve stated, Makita did a decent job and more than the usual company with their stock dust collection. However, your product, while only a small improvement, was an improvement. Miter saw dust collection is a near impossible task to master and Im very happy with any improvement. Thanks for your work!
Dennis B.
It works exceptionally well.
Paul M.
The Makita miter saw’s dust collection is already very good, so how much can it be improved? Quite a bit, actually. The Shop Nation DC chute is a very worthwhile enhancement. Instructions are clear and concise resulting in a marked improvement on dust collection. Strongly recommended.
Paul H.
The parts working fantastic!
Eric .
I’m pretty disappointed having been looking forward to this for quite some time.
The STOP piece for the lower chute doesn’t fit and I ended up breaking a tab trying to push it into place. On the right side of the replacement chute, the thumb screws don’t line up, making it impossible to screw in (I was told this was by design which makes no sense).
My customer support experience was poor so far. It seems AI bots are being leveraged, which I understand to a point, but I feel mostly ignored since I’m being sent a replacement STOP piece and replacement screws, only maybe one of which might solve one of my two problems.
If this is made right, I will amend my review, but I’m sadly not holding my breath. At the moment, this is a product to skip.
Bryan K.
This product is very well built. I've been impatiently waiting for the Makita version of this chute. As soon as it was released I purchased it and it arrived today. Upon opening the box I could tell it is designed for durability. Unfortunately in my excitement to order I did not look at the models available. I have the 40V version of the saw and while this chute fits my machine perfectly, the screw holes are off slightly so it is not able to be secured properly. If you have the 120V version this would be an amazing addition to the saw. If you have the 40V like me, we are going to have to wait a little longer.
