Triton TSPL152 Surface Planer Dust Port Size and Vacuum Adapter Guide
The Triton TSPL152 is a benchtop surface planer. A planer is the messiest tool most shops own. Every pass peels off a full-width ribbon of chips, and without extraction those chips bury the bed, jam the rollers, and pile up on the floor.
The planer has a round dust extraction port. Triton publishes the size: 58 mm inside and 62 mm outside. A GulpDust PETG adapter is printed to that port on one end and your shop vac hose on the other end, so the chips leave with the airflow instead of clogging the machine. No tape. No clamps.

Triton TSPL152 Dust Port Size: 58 mm Inside, 62 mm Outside
The dust extraction port on the TSPL152 is round. The inside measures 58 mm and the outside measures 62 mm. Triton lists both numbers on its benchtop tools page, so you can order to them without pulling out calipers.
Most shop vac hoses are 1-7/8 inch or 2-1/2 inch. Neither one seals on a 58 mm port by itself. A loose hose on a planer is worse than no hose: the port clogs, chips back up into the cutter head, and you get snipe and burn marks on your boards.
A GulpDust adapter is printed in PETG to match the 58/62 mm port on one end and your vac hose on the other end. The seal is snug, so the airflow stays strong and the chips keep moving.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the Triton TSPL152
First, clear any packed chips out of the port. Planers pack chips harder than any other tool, and a clogged port chokes the vac before you start.
Press the 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. Turn the vac on before you feed the first board, so the chips never get a chance to pile up.
Why a Planer Needs Real Chip Extraction
A planer does not sprinkle dust. It fires a steady stream of chips with every pass. Left alone, those chips fall back onto the bed, get pressed into your next board, and dent the surface you just planed.
Pulling the chips at the port keeps the bed clean and the cutter head clear. Your boards come out smooth, your feed rollers grip right, and you skip the shovel work at the end of the day.
Triton TSPL152 Dust Collection FAQ
What size is the dust port on the Triton TSPL152?+
The port is round. It is 58 mm on the inside and 62 mm on the outside. Triton publishes both numbers on its benchtop tools page.
Does the Triton TSPL152 work with a regular shop vac?+
Yes, with the right adapter. A standard shop vac hose does not seal on the 58 mm port by itself. The GulpDust PETG adapter fits the planer port on one end and your vac hose on the other. For long planing sessions, a vac with a big canister helps, since a planer fills small ones fast.
Can I hook the TSPL152 to a dust collector instead?+
You can, if your collector hose steps down to fit the adapter. Measure your collector's hose end to confirm the size before you order, since collector hoses vary by brand.
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.
