Measure to order
Dust port
Round port, friction
Look at the dust port on your DeWalt DW734. If it sticks out like a tube, measure the outside. On the DW734, if it is a hole, measure the inside. Use calipers.
Published size

Full port and fit detail for this tool
The DeWalt DW734 is the 12-1/2 inch benchtop thickness planer. It turns rough boards flat and smooth, and it buries the bench in shavings while it does it. A planer makes more waste per minute than a saw or a sander ever will.
The chips leave through a hood on the back. Our PETG adapter joins that hood to the hose you already run, so the shavings go into the collector instead of onto the floor.

DeWalt DW734 Dust Port: What Connects To It
We print the adapter to the size you measure there.
The hood is built for a 4 inch dust collector hose. If that is what you run, you may not need anything at all. Most people do not run one.
If your hose is a shop vac hose instead, that is the gap our adapter fills. It grips the hood on one end and your hose on the other end.
How to Hook a Shop Vac or Dust Collector to the DW734
Unplug the planer first. Then clear the shavings out of the hood so the adapter seats clean.
Press the hood end of the PETG adapter on. We print it to the size you measure, so a firm push is all it takes. Then press your hose onto the other end.
Start the collector before you feed the board. This machine fills the hood in the first few inches of a pass.
Keep the run short and straight. A long, kinked hose on a planer packs with shavings and stops moving air.
Why a Benchtop Planer Buries a Shop Vac
A planer takes wood off in wide sheets. One pass on a 12 inch board makes more waste than an hour of sanding.
A shop vac is built for high suction through a small hose. That is right for a sander and wrong for a planer, and a full drum on a planer takes about two boards.
A dust collector is built the other way, for a lot of air through a big hose. That is what a planer wants.
Run a shop vac if that is what is in the shop. Just empty it early and often, and put a cyclone separator in front of it so the filter does not pack.
DW734 or DW735: Which Dust Setup You Need
The DW734 is the 12-1/2 inch planer. The DW735 is the 13 inch, and it has a fan inside that pushes the chips out under pressure.
Both use a hood on the collection side, and both take an adapter printed to the hood size you measure.
The difference is on the machine itself. The DW735 has a second outlet, so measure the one you plan to use. The DW734 does not have that problem.
If you own the 735, read its page before you buy. If you own the 734, this page is the one.
DeWalt DW734 Dust Collection FAQ
Will a GulpDust adapter fit the DeWalt DW734 dust hood?+
Yes. We print the adapter to the size you measure at the hood. The other end matches your dust collector or shop vac hose.
Can I run the DW734 on a shop vac?+
Yes, with the right adapter. Expect to empty the drum often, because a planer makes shavings faster than a vac can hold them.
Do I need a dust collector for a benchtop planer?+
You do not need one, but it is the better match. A collector moves a lot of air through a big hose, which is what a planer wants.
Does the same adapter fit the DW735?+
Not always. Ports can differ between planers, so measure the port on yours. The builder prints the adapter to the number you enter.
Do I need clamps or tape to attach the adapter?+
Usually not. We print the adapter to the size you measure, so it presses in and holds. You push it on and it holds. Add a wrap of tape at any joint that sees heavy use.
Do you sell the design file?+
No. We sell the finished part. Each one is printed to order in PETG and ships from the US.
