Full port and fit detail for this tool
The Hercules 59313 is a 12-1/2 inch portable thickness planer sold at Harbor Freight. A planer turns rough boards into smooth ones, and it makes more chips per minute than almost any other tool in the shop. A good dust hookup pulls those chips away before they pile up.
This planer ships with two tool-free dust port attachments. The small one is for a shop vac. The big one is for a dust collector. Our adapter mates with the attachment, not the bare chute. A GulpDust PETG adapter links it to your hose to the size you measure.

Hercules 59313 Dust Port: What Connects To It
The 59313 does not have one fixed port. It ships with two tool-free dust port attachments, one for a shop vac and one for a dust collector.
Use the shop vac attachment for a shop vac. Use the dust collector attachment for a dust collector. Our adapters mate with the attachment, not the bare chute behind it.
We print our adapter to your attachment measurement on one end and to your hose on the other end. It holds with a firm push.
How to Connect a Shop Vac or Dust Collector to the Hercules 59313
Pick the attachment for your setup. Snap it onto the planer, no tools needed.
Press the matching end of the PETG adapter onto the attachment. It holds with a firm push. Press your hose onto the other end.
Run the vac or collector the whole time you plane. A planer makes a big pile of chips in seconds, and the hose only helps while it is on.
Why a Thickness Planer Needs Strong Dust Collection
A planer removes wood in wide, thin sheets. Each pass makes a burst of chips and fine dust. That is more waste per minute than a saw or sander makes.
Chips that stay in the machine can press into the wood as it feeds through and dent the surface. Pulling them out at the port keeps the cut clean and the finish smooth.
If you own a dust collector, use its attachment for the most airflow. A shop vac on its attachment works for light jobs. Either way, the right adapter makes the connection.
