Full port and fit detail for this tool
The Metabo KGS 216 M is a crosscut and miter saw. A miter saw throws a big pile of chips on every cut. A vac at the port catches most of them before they land on your work and your floor.
The saw has a dust port at the rear. We print our adapter to the size you measure there. A GulpDust PETG adapter is sized to the port on one end and your shop vac hose on the other end.

Metabo KGS 216 M Dust Port: What Connects To It
The dust port on the KGS 216 M sits at the back of the saw. Our adapter is printed to plug into it.
Most shop vac hoses are 1-7/8 inch or 2-1/2 inch. Those do not seal on this port on their own, and a taped joint leaks the whole time you cut.
A GulpDust adapter matches the saw port on one end and your vac hose on the other end for a tight fit.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the Metabo KGS 216 M
Unplug the saw first. Then brush the sawdust out of the rear port so the adapter seats clean.
Press the tool end of the PETG adapter into the port. We print it to the size you measure, so a firm push is all it takes. Then press your shop vac hose onto the other end.
Turn the vac on before the blade drops. A miter saw throws its chips in the first second of the cut.
Why Dust Collection Matters on a Miter Saw
A miter saw makes a big pile of chips fast. Those chips spray back behind the fence and pile up on the bench and the floor.
Pulling the chips at the port keeps your work area clear and keeps more of the fine dust out of the air you breathe. It also helps you see your cut line so your cuts stay clean.
For the best result, run a steady vac while you cut. Any shop vac with the right adapter does the main job.
Metabo KGS 216 M Dust Collection FAQ
What size is the dust port on the Metabo KGS 216 M?+
Measure it with calipers. It is at the rear of the saw. Enter that number in the builder and we print the adapter to it. You pick the hose end you need.
Does the Metabo KGS 216 M work with a regular shop vac?+
Yes, with an adapter. Most shop vac hoses are 1-7/8 inch or 2-1/2 inch, and they do not seal on this port on their own. The GulpDust PETG adapter is sized to the saw port on one end and to your vac hose on the other.
Do I need clamps to attach the adapter?+
Usually not. We print the adapter to the size you measure, so you press it into the port and it holds. The vac hose end works the same way. Add a wrap of tape at any joint that sees heavy use.
Does a dust bag work as well as a vac?+
No. A bag fills fast and lets the fine dust through. A vac at the port pulls steadily and catches far more.
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.
