01/What it is

What is a dust collection adapter?

A dust collection adapter is a short fitting with two different ends. One end matches your tool's dust port. The other end matches your shop vac hose or dust extractor hose. It bridges the size gap so the two lock together.

Tool brands use different port sizes. Vacuum brands use different hose sizes too. That is why a hose almost never fits a tool straight out of the box. Most people reach for duct tape. Tape leaks, sags, and falls off mid-cut.

A printed adapter fixes it. We size each vacuum hose adapter to your tool port and your hose, so it pushes on snug and stays put. The connection holds, and the vac pulls dust away at full power.

02

Pick your vac

Choose your shop vac, dust extractor, or duct size. We size both ends, so the adapter grips the tool and the hose.

03

We print and ship

Your PETG adapter is printed to order and ships in 2 to 3 business days from the US, so you are back to work fast.

04/Tool types

Dust port adapters by tool type

Saws throw chips. Sanders throw fine dust. Each tool type gets its own adapter shapes, so pick your tool to see what fits.

05/Port sizes

Dust port sizes by brand

Most brands stick to one common port size. Here is the cheat sheet, so you know what you are working with.

Ridgid1-1/4 in. (31.75 mm)18V1-1/4 in. to 1-7/8 in.

The brand-level port size below is the most common starting point. Many tools in each brand line actually use a different port (proprietary collars, tapered spigots, smaller cuffs). Confirm the exact port size on the tool detail page before you buy.

06/Material

Why PETG beats PLA for a vacuum hose adapter

Every adapter we print is PETG. It takes the heat, shrugs off shop chemicals, and keeps its shape, so the fit stays snug for years.

Heat resistant to 80°C
PLA softens in a hot truck. PETG does not, so the fit stays snug all summer.
Tough, not brittle
PETG flexes instead of cracking, so a drop on concrete will not end it.
Solvent and chemical resistant
Shop cleaners attack PLA. PETG holds up, so the part outlasts the hose.

07/Questions

Dust collection adapter questions

Quick answers on hose sizes, fit, and shipping. Still not sure what you need? Start the configurator and pick from a list, so you never have to guess a size.

What is a dust collection adapter?

It is a short fitting with two different ends. One end fits your tool's dust port. The other end fits your shop vac hose. It closes the gap between them, so more dust goes into the vac and less into the air.

What size is a shop vac hose?

Most shop vac hoses are 1-1/4 in., 1-7/8 in., or 2-1/2 in. Dust extractors often use 36 mm hoses. To check yours, measure across the open end of the hose. Or skip the tape measure: our configurator lists common vacs, so you can pick yours from a list.

How do I connect my tool to a shop vac?

Use an adapter sized to both ends. Pick your tool and your vac in our configurator. We print a PETG adapter that matches both sizes. Push one end onto the tool port and the other onto the hose. No tape and no clamps.

Do I need a dust port adapter for my tool?

Try the fit first. Push your vac hose onto the tool's dust port. If it slips off, wobbles, or leaks dust, you need an adapter. A snug adapter holds the connection, so the vac can pull dust away at full power.

What material is best for a vacuum hose adapter?

PETG. Heat that softens PLA does not bother it, so it keeps its shape in a hot truck or shop. It flexes instead of cracking, so it survives drops and daily use. Every adapter we print is PETG.

How fast do adapters ship?

Each adapter is printed to order and ships in 2 to 3 business days. All orders ship from the US. Need it today? Buy the STL file instead and print it yourself.
