Metabo KGS 216 M Miter Saw Dust Port Size and Shop Vac Adapter Guide
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 round dust port at the rear. One community adapter listing sizes it to about 41.5 mm inside. That is a single measurement, not a hard spec, so measure your own port with calipers before you buy. A GulpDust PETG adapter is sized to the port on one end and your shop vac hose on the other end. No tape. No clamps.

Metabo KGS 216 M Dust Port Size: Round, About 41.5 mm Inside
The dust port on the KGS 216 M is round. One community adapter listing puts the inside at about 41.5 mm.
Treat that number as a close guide, not a hard spec. It is a single community measurement, not a caliper reading on our bench. Measure your own port before you order so you get the right size.
Most shop vac hoses are 1-7/8 inch or 2-1/2 inch. Those do not seal on a 41.5 mm port on their own. A GulpDust adapter matches the saw port on one end and your vac hose on the other end for a tight fit.
How to Measure Your Metabo KGS 216 M Dust Port
Slide the inside jaws of your calipers into the port and open them out until they touch the inner wall. That gives you the inner diameter. You should read close to 41.5 mm.
Then close the caliper jaws around the outside of the port stub for the outer diameter. The inner is what the adapter plugs into, so that reading matters most.
Write down what you measure and order the adapter to match. A quick check makes sure you order a size that seals tight.
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 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, match the adapter to the port and 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?+
One community adapter listing sizes it to about 41.5 mm inside. That is a single measurement, not a hard spec, so measure your own port with calipers before you buy.
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, which do not seal on a 41.5 mm port on their own. The GulpDust PETG adapter fits the saw port on one end and your vac hose on the other.
Why should I measure the port myself?+
The 41.5 mm figure comes from one community adapter listing, not a caliper reading on our bench. A quick caliper check makes sure you order a size that seals tight.
Do I need clamps to attach the adapter?+
No. The adapter is a friction fit. You press it into the port and it holds. The vac hose end works the same way.
Can I print this adapter myself?+
Yes. You can buy the printed PETG part shipped from the US, or download the STL file and print it at home. We suggest PETG with 3 walls and 25 percent infill.
