DeWalt DCS7485 FlexVolt Table Saw Dust Port Size and Vacuum Adapter Guide
The DeWalt DCS7485T2 is the FlexVolt 60V 8-1/4 in. table saw. No cord means you can rip boards anywhere, and that is the problem. A cordless table saw ends up on job sites and in garages with no dust hookup at all, so the chips pile up wherever you set it down.
The saw has a round dust port at the rear. The inside is 58.4 mm and the outside is 63.5 mm, which is 2-1/2 in. A 2-1/2 in. shop vac hose sits loose on that port, so it leaks right where the saw makes the most dust. A GulpDust PETG adapter is printed to this exact port on one end and your hose on the other end, so the joint seals and the chips go into the vac. No tape. No clamps.

DeWalt DCS7485 Dust Port Size: 58.4 mm Inside, 63.5 mm Outside
The rear dust port on the DCS7485 is round. The inside measures 58.4 mm. The outside measures 63.5 mm, which is 2-1/2 in. Both numbers come from a printed adapter made for the DeWalt 7485 table saw port, which this saw shares.
A standard 2-1/2 in. shop vac hose is named for that same 63.5 mm size, so it feels like it should fit. It does not seal. The cuff wiggles on the port, dust blows out the gap, and the hose drops off mid cut.
A GulpDust adapter is printed to grip this exact port on one end and your vac hose on the other end, so the suction stays at the blade instead of leaking out the joint.
This saw sits in the 57 to 58.4 mm port family, the 2-1/4 in. group. Ports can vary by model year, so measure your saw to confirm before you buy.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the DeWalt FlexVolt Table Saw
Pull the battery first. Then wipe the sawdust off the rear port, so the adapter seats clean and seals all the way around.
Press the saw end of the PETG adapter onto the port. It is a friction fit, so a firm push is all it takes. Then press your shop vac hose onto the other end.
Turn the vac on before you start the cut. A table saw fires chips down through the blade slot from the first inch, so the vac needs to be pulling the whole time.
Dust Collection for a Cordless Table Saw on the Job Site
A cordless saw goes where power is scarce. That usually means a finished room, a customer's garage, or a deck. Those are the worst places to spray sawdust, so a sealed port matters even more here than in a shop.
A small cordless vac with a 1-7/8 in. or 2-1/2 in. hose pairs well with this saw. The adapter bridges the port to the hose, so one compact kit handles cutting and cleanup.
The PETG part is light and tough, so it can ride in the saw case without cracking. Push it on at the site and you are cutting clean in seconds.
DeWalt DCS7485T2 Dust Collection FAQ
What size is the dust port on the DeWalt DCS7485?+
The rear port is round. It is 58.4 mm on the inside and 63.5 mm on the outside, which is 2-1/2 in. Both numbers are verified against a printed adapter made for this saw's port.
Will a 2-1/2 in. shop vac hose fit the DCS7485 port?+
Not by itself. The hose cuff sits loose on the port, so dust leaks out the gap. The GulpDust PETG adapter grips the port on one end and your hose on the other, so the joint seals tight.
Do I need clamps or tape to attach the adapter?+
No. The adapter is a friction fit. You push it on and it holds, so setup takes seconds and packs away just as fast.
Does the same adapter fit the DeWalt DWE7485 or DWE7491RS?+
The DWE7485 shares this port, and the DWE7491RS uses the same 58.4 mm family. But ports vary by model year, so measure your port before you buy.
Can I print this adapter myself?+
Yes. You can buy the printed PETG part shipped from the US, or download the STL file and print it at home. We suggest PETG with 3 walls and 25 percent infill, so the part stays stiff and handles job site heat.
