Look at the dust port on your DeWalt DWS716. If it sticks out like a tube, measure the outside. On the DWS716, if it is a hole, measure the inside. Use calipers.

Full port and fit detail for this tool
The DeWalt DWS716 is the 12 inch double bevel compound miter saw. It is the saw that lives on a trim job. Cut after cut, it throws a fan of dust straight out the back of the blade guard.
The saw has a dust port at the rear behind the bag. We print our PETG adapter to your port measurement on one end and to your shop vac hose on the other end, so the dust goes in the drum instead of on the floor.

DeWalt DWS716 Dust Port: What Connects To It
The dust port sits at the back of the saw, behind the blade, where the chip bag clips on. It is round. We print the adapter to the size you measure there.
Shop vac hoses come in a few sizes and none of them push onto this port and hold. The cuff either rattles loose or will not go on at all.
Our adapter matches the saw port on one end and your hose on the other end. Tell us which hose you run and we print that end to match.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the DWS716
Unplug the saw. Pull the chip bag off the port and knock the dust out of the opening.
Press the saw end of the PETG adapter onto the port. Firm push, and it holds. Then press the vac hose onto the other end.
Switch the vac on before you cut. A miter saw fires everything backward in the first half second of the cut, so the vac has to already be pulling.
Leave enough slack in the hose that the head can travel and bevel without dragging the hose with it.
The Chip Bag on a DWS716, and Why It Loses
The bag catches the big chips. That is all it does well.
Fine dust goes straight through the cloth and hangs in the air, and once the bag is half full it stops catching much of anything. Anybody who has cut a room of base trim has watched it happen.
A shop vac on the port pulls harder and keeps pulling. It also empties into a drum instead of a cloth sack you have to shake out.
If you cut a lot of MDF, put a cyclone separator between the saw and the vac. MDF dust packs a filter faster than anything else in the shop.
DWS716, DWS779 and DWS780: Which Page Is Yours
These saws sit in the same family and hook up the same way. Each one has its own page and its own part.
Find the model number on the plate on the motor housing and use the page that matches it. Guessing from a model that looks similar is how people end up with a part that will not seat.
One DeWalt miter saw is not on any of these pages. Measure the DW718 port on its own.
DeWalt DWS716 Dust Collection FAQ
Will a GulpDust adapter fit the DeWalt DWS716 dust port?+
Yes. The port sits at the rear of the saw. We print the adapter to the size you measure there, and the other end matches your shop vac hose.
Is a shop vac better than the DWS716 chip bag?+
Yes. The bag catches big chips and lets the fine dust through, and it stops working well once it fills. A vac on the port pulls more and keeps pulling.
Does the same adapter fit the DWS779 or DWS780?+
Not always. Ports can differ between miter saws, so measure the port on yours. The builder prints the adapter to the number you enter.
Does it fit the DW718?+
No. Ports can differ between saws, so this page does not cover the DW718. If you want a part for it, send us the shape on the custom request form and we will tell you if we can make it.
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. The vac hose end works the same way. 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.
