The circular saw Dust Collection Nozzle (DCN) is designed to fit under the Universal Saw Adapter Plate for the Pro-Series systems and mounts directly to the Adapter Plate with included brass inserts and pan head bolts.
The Saw Adapter Plate has a locating slot and two holes pre-drilled to locate the DCN and allow the brass inserts to be pressed in. The plates have a slot and pair of holes at each end of the plate to facilitate use with left or right bladed saws.
The blade of your saw will be plunged into the DCN in the same manner as the Zero Clearance Block. This provides both anti-chip on the outside of your saw blade, like the ZCB, and also encapsulates the origin point of the majority of your saw dust allowing for more efficient dust collection.
Injection molded from ABS plastic, this kit is designed to encapsulate the creation point of the saw dust. This is achieved by plunging your saw blade into the nozzle itself, but not fully cutting through the entire nozzle.
This directs the air flow through the gullet of the blade itself and ensures that virtually all fine dust is extracted, along with the majority of the larger chips and shavings.
With minimal adaptations you should expect 75% collection of dust chips and shavings.
The TrueTrac Saw Dust Collection Nozzle may be purchased in two ways:
Bare Tool:
- Includes the DCN, 60 Degree Elbow, mounting hardware, installation/saw plate adaption instructions.
- This allows you to adapt an existing Saw Adapter Plate for the DCN with the use of a router table with an indexable fence system.
- All new systems purchased after Jan 2019 already have adapter plates machined to accept the bare DCN.
DCN w/ Updated Plate:
- Includes an updated Saw Adapter Plate, new mounting hardware/set-up items, along with the DCN, 60 Degree Elbow, and brass inserts.
- This is a reduced price kit aimed at owners that would like to include dust collection with their system, but may not have access to a router table to easily adapt their existing saw plate.
- This option is for updating older systems purchased prior to Jan 2019.
Customer Reviews
Although the True Track is far superior than the competitor for having two rail guides than one but the dust collector sorry to say is useless. I even modified the collection nozzle by removing the bottom edge of the nozzle, to expose more suction at the blade but still the best it could do was around 20%
Hi Kazem,
I've found the unit becomes virtually worthless by removing the portion of the nozzle that is beyond the blade.
The best you can get is around 70% pick up focusing on the finer dust by forcing the air directly through the gullets of the blade to move the fine dust. By opening up a larger area to draw from you're switching from using velocity to collect the dust into trying to use volume or mass air flow to collect it, which this nozzle doesn't handle period.
It'll never get the larger shavings and chips, as shown and discussed in the videos. However, closing up the overall saw guard exit points does notably improve the pick-up percentage as it contains the shavings closer to the nozzle.
I'll go ahead and send another nozzle over.
Thank you!

TrueTrac Dust Collection Nozzle
Well made products that I anticipate using more. Excellent supporting information and videos as well prompt response to questions and concerns. I got call back around 8PM to a submitted question by a helpful engineer.
This dust collection has really limited the amount of dust using my Porter Cable circular saw. At first I was skeptical of the performance, but I am very satisfied. This will hold me back from purchasing a track saw! Thanks for coming up with this addition to the True Track saw family?
Does it make a difference on how far the saw blade is forward into the zero clearance dust chute? I centered the sole plate of my Makita saw on your track guide so the sole is just over a inch back from the front of the guide. My saw curf is about 1 inch long on the top of the dust chute.
Russell,
Honestly, kind of - If the saw blade isn’t cutting into the nozzle it won’t be as effective, as the concept is trying to keep the dust creation point inside the actual vacuum nozzle itself so all of the fine dust is extracted.
That being said as long as the blade has cut into the nozzle it should function just fine!
