Porter-Cable PCC761B Random Orbit Sander Dust Port Size and Vacuum Adapter Guide
The Porter-Cable PCC761B is the Porter-Cable 20V MAX 5 in. Random Orbit Sander. The dust port is round and about 31.75 mm inside. That is the same as 1-1/4 inch. The number comes from an adapter made for this sander, so treat it as close, not exact. Measure your own port to confirm before you buy.
A sander makes fine dust that hangs in the air and gets into your lungs. Pulling it right at the port keeps the air clean. A GulpDust PETG adapter is sized to the port on one end and your shop vac hose on the other end. It is a friction fit. No tape. No clamps.

Porter-Cable PCC761B Dust Port Size: About 31.75 mm (1-1/4 In.) Inside, Round
The dust port on the PCC761B is round. The inside is about 31.75 mm, which is 1-1/4 inch. That figure comes from an adapter made for this Porter-Cable sander, so treat it as close, not a hard spec. The outer size is not confirmed, so measure your own port before you buy.
Most shop vac hoses are 1-7/8 inch or 2-1/2 inch. They are too wide for a 1-1/4 inch port on their own. That gap is why fine dust sprays out instead of going into the hose.
A GulpDust adapter is printed to match the sander port on one end and your vac hose on the other end. Measure your port first so you order the size that seals tight.
How to Measure Your Porter-Cable PCC761B Dust Port
Close caliper jaws around the OUTSIDE of the port stub. That gives you the outer diameter in millimeters. Round to the nearest standard size if your number falls between two.
Next, slide the inside jaws into the port and open them out until they touch the inner wall. That gives you the inner diameter. The inner is what the adapter slides into. The outer tells you how snug the fit will be.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the Porter-Cable PCC761B
First, clear any dust out of the port. A clean port gives the best seal.
Press the small end of the PETG adapter onto the port. It is a friction fit, so it holds with a firm push. Then press your shop vac hose onto the other end of the adapter. Turn the vac on before you start to sand.
Porter-Cable PCC761B Dust Collection FAQ
What size is the dust port on the Porter-Cable PCC761B?+
The port is round and about 31.75 mm inside, which is 1-1/4 inch. That number comes from an adapter made for this sander, not a Porter-Cable spec sheet, so measure your own port with calipers before you buy.
Does the Porter-Cable PCC761B work with a regular shop vac?+
Yes, with the right adapter. A standard shop vac hose is wider than the Porter-Cable dust port. The GulpDust PETG adapter fits the tool port on one end and your vac hose on the other.
Do I need clamps or tape to attach the adapter?+
No. The adapter is a friction fit. You push it onto the port and it holds. The same goes for the vac hose end.
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.
