100% better dust collection compared to stock. Quality part, fit is perfect.
Randy F.
Missing parts. I emailed already about my missing parts and still haven’t heard back yet. Missing the 2 red plugs
Stephen L.
I might put a t in the line and have suction from top Port and the bottom as well
John K.
Easy to install ! Works great
Very happy!
David K.
Much improved dust collection. Highly recommend.
Jerry K.
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.

I think the base is a little thick when I try to do a 45 with a saw and a size race. It hits the bottom plate. I can only do 45 to the left or to the right now sideways. I would like to see if you could contact me so we could work on it. I would like something better if you could do a better product that would be great. I’m a finish carpenter and I do a lot of Base installations and I use myself quite a bit at night like your product for other items for this saw the base of it is too thick so when it comes down the hits, it doesn’t let me do a 45 and an angle.
Thank you anyways I appreciate
Fred K.
I didn’t notice much of a difference

12 inch makita with slide. Lose cut capacity part of the plastic cover hits work piece when cutting. Doesnt freely pass rear fence when making cut. Putting stock piece back on. Would probablh be fine for saw with out slide
Benjamin E.
This made a huge difference on my Makita. Just as good as the dust collection as the Kapex...maybe better.
Richard B.
Excellent service! The video was an excellent way to present this install. Personally, I thought this was a real differentiator from other products or upgrades I have purchased. Thank you!!
Dennis B.
It does what you would expect at least 90% of dust is collected. I highly recommend.
Daniel W.
It has massively improved the dust collection on my Makita LS1019L!
Bill J.
Really easy installation - works way better than the stock dust collection for my saw. Would recommend for sure!!
Bryce J.
It was a definite improvement from the stock version, but I expected more for a $50 dollar upgrade. the parts were packaged neatly and instillation was easy! the parts seemed to be of high quality but for the price point I and a little disappointed.
Hashim A.
Easy to install, works great to reduce amount of sawdust.
Brian H.
I didn’t actually expect this attachment to make as big a difference as it did. But it really cut down the amount of saw dust that goes flying everywhere from my miter saw. You need dust extraction hooked up, but it works. Is it 100%? No. But it’s a vast Improvment. This saves me from having a box around my miter saw which frees up more space on my wall and allows much easier use of bevel and miter functions. Worth the purchase in my opinion.
Kenneth M.
Install was easy. So far get alot more of the sawdust than stock setup. Still leaves some fine dust but volume is much less
Shaun H.
good product! definitely ups the dust collection.
Hubert B.
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.
William C.
A huge improvement over what comes on the Makita.
wayne p.
Having trouble getting the red port blocker to fit my saw. How much force should it take to insert?
Bryan Scofield S.
Very easy to attach great instructions very happy I upgraded my Miter saw
Clint M.
So far,so good but I think the jury’s still out.
Clyde S.
Perfect for my Makita miter saw. Increased dust collection immediately which made it better and reduced atmospheric dust.
Laurence B.
Didn't fit my saw, unfortunately. Easy to return though.
James K.
works great thanks fellers
Devin L.
Doesn't fit my model. It's my fault, I didn't realize there were other models of Makita's, just the blade size. I can't modify it to fit the one I have, but I won't send it back since it's my fault for not checking the model number closely.
Hiam S.
The quality of the pieces seem to be excellent. The fit and finish is first class.
I was a bit surprised that the height extensions on the fence need to be removed to operated the redesigned saw, but even without the height the fence seemed accurate and safe.
Congratulations on a design that works so well.
Dale K.
It's amazing how much dust this captures
Kyle D.
Works great with my festool dust extractor
Al S.
See video. Not happy
Dave W.
Fits perfect and improves dust collection as expected!
Eric G.
It did not fit the Makita LS1013F. and you do not have anything that will fit it.
Declan C.
Thanks so much , have been waiting for you to so my 1019 Makita for a good while. Well worth the wait !
Love the online content by the way.
Declan Costello, Ireland
PF C.
Just tested with lower blanking plate which concentrates airflow making it stronger .alot less sawdust on the cutting table .
Will continue to test ,
Already showing promising results .
Going to build mitresaw station in new year wifh built in dust collection maybe downdraft under saw .
Pam H.
Still don’t know why you wouldn’t make one for a Makita the LS 10 1010 L I bought bought it didn’t work so let me know when you make one some day for that style and then Harbor Freight beer tool so why don’t you make one for one of those?
Gary T.
Fits and works as expected, dust collection shows major improvement! Makita did try and was pretty close, this unit just gets it as close as dust collection gets.
Pam H.
It did not fit waited all that time. I didn’t figure it would I don’t know why you don’t make one for the LS 1016 it’s a and it’s not that old of a saw. I mean you make it for all the new brands that I couldn’t go out and buy another saw just for your parts to fit sorry I’ll just manage kind of disappointed.
Michael G.
I was really excited, based on what I have seen on his other products.
Unfortunately this version is bad.
1.) same or worse performance than stock
2.) gets in the way of bevel cuts
I think the description is deceptive, I hope Travis updates the description at minimum.
It's a cool idea and is super easy to install, but obviously that doesn't matter if it doesn't perform.
Gary J.
Quick delivery. Perfect fit. Great dust collection. Highly recommend.
Scott H.
This works exactly as advertised and as I hoped it would. Very happy with the product and extremely happy with the response to the issue I had when my first adapter arrived completely crushed. A replacement was sent out within a couple of days and arrived in perfect condition.
Michael K.
Guess I figured it out as there were no directions, don't know what the 2 red "plugs" are for? Slight improvement over the OEM.
David A.
It is an improvement, but it could be better.
James C.
The bolt holes did not line up with my Makita miter saw. I modified the part to fit. In use, it works very well
JOSEPH R.
The instructional video was perfectly done.
Keegan L.
Does a really good job when you are just using the chop down motion, for 2X4's and things that size. If you are cutting a larger dimension like a 1x10 or 2x10 and you have to push through the cut with the saw, there is quite a bit of sawdust that does not get sucked up. Great for the 2X4's and 2x6's.
Frederick G.
Works better than the Factory one of course. I'm still deciding if i want to use the plug that goes in the factory cup or not. i'll decide on my next project.
Brandon G.
Sawdust still ends up everywhere and can’t use the slide function without taking the high fence extensions off.
John Z.
It seems like I had to wait a long time for this dust chute for my Makita miter saw, but it was worth the wait; it works better than I imagined it would. Nothing in dust collection is 100%, but this is better than 90% effective; almost nothing gets away!! Thanks for your continued efforts at solving the Miter Saw Dust Saga! We (I think I can speak for the majority of wood workers) appreciate your hard work and success in miter saw dust collection! Kudos!!

Daniel S.
Fits and works perfectly. Great design.
Frederick L.
I bought it on a sale for a price I couldn't resist, even though my Makita saw is an older model. I hoped it would be close enough I could make it fit. But alas, no way. So now I'll try to sell it at a local woodworking shop. I tried. It is nicely made! Just will not work on my old saw.
Blair R.
Fits perfectly and definitely helps. Thank you
Michael S.
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.
Jonathan H.
Great product just doesn’t fit my saw.
Vard B.
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.
Eric
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.
Ryan F.
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.
Peter S.
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.
Jeff G.
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!
Joshua P.
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...
John S.
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.
Steve O.
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.
