I have the same problem. The dust chute flaps collapse. It's not the vacuums fault. It's just poor engineering by Dewalt. I love the miter saw but there should not be rubber flaps. I'm going to see about removing the flaps and fabricating some type of small shroud that I can replace it with, unless someone else has a better idea that doesn't involve buying a huge hood around my miter saw. Maybe someone knows about an after market modification that can replace the chute flaps? I should be able to attach a shop vac to my saw and not have this problem.
