Full port and fit detail for this tool

A circular saw throws chips and fine dust hard. Catching it at the port keeps your cut line visible and the bench clear. Measure the port and give us that number. If it is not a plain tube, send us the shape and we will tell you if we can make it.

Metabo HPT C18DBALP4 Dust Port: What Connects To It
Measure the port before you order.
Measure the port and give us that number. If it is not a plain tube, send us the shape and we will tell you if we can make it.
Most shop vac hoses are 1-7/8 inch or 2-1/2 inch. Neither one grabs this port on its own, and a taped joint leaks the whole time you cut.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the Metabo HPT C18DBALP4
First, clear any dust out of the port. A clean port gives the best fit.
If we can make an adapter for this tool, press the tool end onto the port. Then press your shop vac hose onto the other end.
Turn the vac on before you start the cut. Chips fly from the first inch of the blade.
Why a Cordless Circular Saw Still Needs a Vac
The battery cuts the cord, not the dust. This saw throws the same chips a corded saw throws.
Chips on the board hide your line, and the fine part hangs in the air you breathe. A hose at the port handles both.
Any shop vac with the right adapter does the main job. The fit at the port is what matters most.
