Dust port
Look at the dust port on your DeWalt DWS782. If it sticks out like a tube, measure the outside. On the DWS782, if it is a hole, measure the inside. Use calipers.
Get the adapter for this DeWalt DWS782.
Tell us the size you measured at the port and the size you measured at the hose, and we print both ends to those two numbers.

Full port and fit detail for this tool
The DeWalt DWS782 is the 12 inch double bevel compound miter saw. It bevels both directions without flipping the board, which is why it ends up on crown and casing work. It also throws a lot of fine dust with every cut.
The saw has a dust port at the rear. We print our PETG adapter to your port measurement on one end and to your shop vac hose on the other end.

DeWalt DWS782 Dust Port: What Connects To It
The port is at the back of the saw where the chip bag mounts. We print the adapter to the size you measure there.
A shop vac hose on its own does not hold on this port. It sits crooked, leaks around the joint, and falls off when the head travels.
The adapter grips the saw on one end and your hose on the other end. Pick your hose size and we print that end for it.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the DWS782
Unplug the saw and pull the bag off the port. Knock the packed dust out of the opening so the adapter seats all the way around.
Push the saw end of the adapter on. We print it to the size you measure, so it holds with a firm press. Then push your vac hose onto the other end.
Run the vac before the blade touches the wood and keep it running through the cut.
Give the hose slack. This saw bevels both ways and the head moves through a wide arc, so a tight hose will pull the adapter off.
Why a Printed Adapter Beats the Kits
Search this saw and you will find one printed kit sold by a dozen different sellers, all claiming to fit seven DeWalt saws at once.
That kit is a chute that clamps over the outlet. A clamp can squeeze onto almost any shape, which is how one part gets listed for seven saws. It is not the same thing as a part sized to your port.
Ours is sized to the port. It presses in, holds by friction, and does not need a strap. It is also printed in PETG, not PLA, so it does not soften in a hot truck or a summer garage.
Ours does not claim to fit it, and that is the point.
DWS782 and the Rest of the DeWalt 12 Inch Line
The DWS716, DWS779 and DWS780 all have their own pages. Same idea, one part per saw.
Check the model plate on the motor housing before you order. The model numbers on these saws differ by one digit and the pages are not interchangeable.
The DW718 is the exception in this line. Measure that saw's port on its own.
DeWalt DWS782 Dust Collection FAQ
Will a GulpDust adapter fit the DeWalt DWS782 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.
How is this different from the printed kits sold online?+
Those are chutes that clamp over the outlet. Ours is sized to the port and holds by friction, and it is PETG instead of PLA.
Does the DWS782 use the same part as the DWS779?+
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. 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.
