I used to have a huge dust problem on my walls, and my vacuum didn't seem to make a difference. But after installing the Metabo 12" miter saw dust collection chute, I'm blown away by the results. Now, I might see a few stray dust specks near the saw, but my walls are spotless. The chute really delivers. I'm loving it!

This thing works so well!! Just as advertised
John M.
I like it. Mine did crack but is still operational. Nice rubber piece and alloy thumbscrew. Looks like I would need to modify my Metabo to maximize its effectiveness.
Paul D.
Easy to install and significantly increased dust collection at my older saw
Robert C.
Love it! Less sawdust to clean up!
Louis A.
It works great, fit was perfect, super simple to install.
Zac D.
Great product! Simple install, and dust collection is extremely better than stock.
James
 It works exactly as advertise! Huge difference thank you Shop Nation!
Steven S.
I wish I could quantify the actual percentage gain of dust collection with this! It seems like a 1000% increase!
Thank you for making the Hitachi/Metabo version! I have been waiting for it and it has made all the difference!
John C.
I was a bit skeptical when I first opened the package because the chute for the Hitachi saws is not a large or complicated piece. However, it improves dust collection dramatically. Directions and video made installation easy, even with the need to remove a part from the saw base to accommodate the new chute. The piece is sturdy and fits with close tolerances to boost the performance of your OEM chute to a level that will meet or exceed your expectations.

Product does not fit
Rick H.
Well made and real easy to install. Works great at diverting saw dust up into vacuum port.
James W.
The instructional video is very good and quite helpful.
I did experience some difficulty in lining up the thumb screw and the mounting hole on the saw. The fit was very tight, meaning that hole for the thumb screw did not line up, about a millimeter off. I was able to get the thumb screw started, but had to use pliers to screw it into the hole.
Love the way it takes care of the dust from the saw.
Matthew J.
Works so so much better than the stock dust collection.
Craig H.
Easy to install. Works as advertised. Quick shipping and good customer service. Would definitely do business with them again.

I wish there was a way to respond without providing a rating as the truth be told, I have not used the product on my sliding compound miter saw. Why? I have a Hitachi 12" which requires the removal (via cutting/grinding) of an area of the cast frame. I have been a bit nervous to do this "operation." I plan on tackling this in a few days.
Please resend the product review at another time in the future. Thanks.
Sam C.
Looks and feels like a good product. I asked ShopNation to look at making one for this saw model. I was so excited to hear that the project was completed.
I purchased one immediately and installed it within a few days. The hardest part was removing that piece in the rear. That hurt...but the final results was worth it.
The only issue that I experienced was the red securing nut did not line up with my saw hole. It was just short. I was afraid to use a mallet to make sure that the adapter was seated well...but the red nut never lines up. I had to make a little more adjustments to get it to work.
All in all, I was torn between 3 or 4 stars. In the end, it is a good product, but the most important part that secures this adapter required some more work. Oh well.
Michael R.
Finally a product that does what it says it supposed to. I waited so long for the Metabo one to come out. Wow worth the wait. Amazing! Thank You!
Walter Y.
Everything worked out great. Easy to follow, detailed instruction. Thanks for making this.
Rick S.
Wow, what a difference. The amount of saw dust and other stuff collected thru this new adapter is 10X better or
more. I can watch the dust leave the blade and shoot right into the new vac shoot.
I have a Metabo 12" saw and modifications, install where very easy to handle. Everyone should get one of these.
Thanks Shop Nation
Raymond E.
Yes it works great. Fit perfectly. Used my saws all to remove that useless metal casting on the saw - no problem. Huge difference with my shop vac in dust pickup- great purchase
Joel E.
Perfect fit and massive improvement to dust collection.
Daniel P.
I do appreciate your overall input and YouTube channel as it has tons of great content and superb advice, the dust chute does indeed reduce the mess around the Mitre Saw to a acceptable level, so good job on design end execution.
Best regards Daniel
Mike C.
Albeit a good design, I think it could be flared more laterally each side by about 3/8." I would also put a FULL disclaimer that forged parts of the saw itself need to be cut in order for this to function, or create a skirt that has a slot to allow it to function with the forged tail intact.
Neil P.
Easy installation and the dust collection is vastly improved.
Joel P.
The wait was worth it! Seemed like it took forever to get the Metabo version in stock. But once it arrived it literally took me longer to read the instructions than installing it. Huge impact on the dust. NOT a gimmick. It really exceeds the expectations.
Jordan B.
Product performs its function flawlessly. Dust from the cut is deflected upward into the airstream. Unfortunately, the fit is off. The pressed in nutsert and accompanying thumb screw does not line up with the oem hole in the saw ( this model is advertised to fit multiple product numbers, maybe there is a slight difference.) Elongating the oem hole in the saw allows the product to install as intended, but with a little too much play, and I had to turn my blade by hard to wear away a high spot in the blade groove to prevent any accidental contact when the blade was spinning, the air gap is very small (this may be due to slightly different blade sizes from various manufacturers) overall, my lungs are happy, and it wasn’t any harder to install than any other accessory to a tool from another manufacturer.
Christopher H.
Good product quality, especially for something 3d printed. Install was easy even with doing weight reduction on the saw.
James E.
Awesome improvement to my dust collection!
You guys should think about an attachment for the backside of the dust shoot. An adapter for a shop vac hose.
JOHN K.
Fit great! I was impressed with how much saw dust it does catch. GREAT PRODUCT!
George B.
Works great so far doesn’t get it all but it does catch a great deal of it. Waited a long time for it to be available I am very happy so far
Jonathan T.
The stock dust collection on my Metabo was terrible. It was so bad I was considering buying a Bosch miter saw just so I could get a SN dust collector because at the time it wasn’t available for Metabo. SN dust collection is a thousand percent better. Great job
Ron C.
I was skeptical about this but after installing and using I am a believer.
From nearly no dust collection to nearly no dust this is very impressive.
Jeff U.
have not installed yet. But quality looks good.
John B.
Excellent addition to my Metabo HPT. I had a SN chute on my Dewalt that worked ridiculously well until I broke it while making a cut that I should’ve not tried. The piece of wood was not secured, as well as I thought, and the blade chucked the wood into the dust chute. But the good news is that I still have all my fingers and the Metabo HPT chute works as well as my Dewalt did.
John S.
This transaction was a special Customer Service situation related to a previous order. I had reported a situation purely as informational and was sent this new shipment purely as a thank you. Totally generous and I can't say enough great things about the entire experience.
Great products are important, but great products coupled with great people is just the best.
Allen V.
No where on the site when i purchased this said i needed to hacksaw my saw in order to install this kit. in the instructions it said it can be returned for a refund. when i reached out they informed me there were be fees clawed back from my total original price. Also it came with missing parts. They send me missing parts.
John M.
Really easy to install. Works great!
Rob
Received order quickly and everything needed was in the package. My model saw required me to chop off a piece of the cast aluminum originally meant for kickback protection, but mine was faulty from the factory so it was useless anyway. When I inserted the chute into the saw, I had to make another customization; I had to drill out the hole for the thumbscrew so it would line up properly. Then I used a washer on the thumbscrew to keep it secure. See pics attached. Someone else said they filed some of the SN chute to make it fit which would have been a better idea but you live and learn. The dust collection is improved but not 100% perfect, though it doesn’t claim to be. Just be prepared to make changes on the fly to make it work.
Eric P.
I had been waiting for a dust chute to fit my particular saw for quite some time. As soon as it was available they contacted me, as promised. The chute arrived quickly and they even produced a very good video on installation. When a thumbscrew was inadvertently left out of my kit I never had to contact them. They caught the oversight and put one in the mail saving me the trouble. I wish more companies today were so proactive. I'm impressed.
Daryl E.
Dust collection was much improved versus original.
Had to do a little filing on the two stop tabs to get the thumb screw to line up with the insert.
Highly recommend this.
David H.
Nicely made product. Fitted perfectly with my Hitatchi chop saw.
Only thing was that the thumb screw was missing. I used the old screw, but I’m sure that I would get a replacement if I asked.
Josh B.
Love it but still haven’t received the thumb screw which was missing.
Todd O.
Works as advertised, no visible dust flying past.
Robert R.
Need one for my shop. Lmk when available.
Ray S.
Any timeline yet on when the dust collection adapter will be available for the Hitachi model?
Mike B.
I last posted at the end of 2023 and first made contact with you 6 months prior to that to see if you were going to build one of your awesome dust collection tools for the Matebo 12 in compound miter saw (C12RSH2 (S)). If I had a 3D printer and your engineering skills I would just build my own but I dont. Im willing to pay double the price and be your beta test for fitment and use. What does a fellow maker need to do to get one of these bad boys? Come on man, feel my pain and dust problems. LOL
Matthew S.
Any ETA on when this product might be available?
Mike Berg
Katz-Moses Woodworkers with Disabilities Fundery excited
I reached out to you 6 months ago, hopeful you would design one for the green machine. I cant wait to get this tools dust collection under control.
