  1. Just in case anyone is interested in adding the EU parts to the 6.5-inch 2730-20 for the dust collection, I just did it. It was a little expensive, but it was simple and worked flawlessly. Here are the details: Part numbers needed (which are from the EU version of the saw, M18CCS55-0): HOUSING (1) 4931436101 --this is the metal upper guard cover ADAPTER (1) 4931436111 --this is the 2-piece plastic dust port SCREW (1) 660165011 --this is the screw for securing the dust port to the metal upper guard cover I (mistakenly) did not order part# 660165011, but I found a screw that I had that did the job. I bought the other two parts (4931436101 and 4931436111) online from a store in the UK: www.sparetoolparts.co.uk All you have to do is search for the part numbers on their website. The two parts + shipping cost about $50 total and took about a month to arrive (it took several weeks for them to get the parts in stock from Milwaukee and then another 10 days or so for the shipment to get to me - I live in California). There are 3 part numbers you don't need to order because you can just use the ones that are already on your saw: 4931436100 (name plate with Milwaukee logo - has some adhesive on it, but can easily be punched out of the old metal upper guard cover where plastic nubs are attached and then can easily be glued to the new metal upper guard cover) 4931435150 (3 screws that fasten metal upper guard cover to saw - they still work with new metal upper guard cover, as they just pass through it) 5131000000 (rubber plug - can be easily removed from the old metal upper guard cover and placed in the new one) You could just buy a plastic dust port from a woodworking store, cut a matching hole in your existing metal upper guard cover, and epoxy the port onto the cover - and save a lot of money. I considered doing that. But all in all, I am happy with how it turned out. Hope someone finds this helpful.
