Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Hitachi 308506 Dust Collection Adapter: A Perfect Fit for C10FSH, C8FB2, C10FCH, C12FSA, C12LCH, and C15FB Compound Miter Saws by Nathan Jones

Dust Control II: power tool parts and accessories

I ordered this adapter to go with the Hitachi miter saw dust bag. After using both, it turned out that while this product holds dust quite well, it works no better than a collection bag and costs about 40 percent less. I have found that attaching an industrial vacuum hose to a saw with this adapter takes up significantly more desk space, is more cumbersome to use and requires turning the vacuum on and off. Definitely worth the price if you don't have other options, but the bag is cheaper, less bulky and easy to use, although you'll need to empty the bag more often than a canister vacuum.

Pros
  • Good workmanship, simple design
Cons
  • No power
