DW 735 Planer Dust Port to Shop vac adapter (is there one)

[charlessenf]

I was in Klingspor yesterday and took the connector off the DW735 they had sitting in the store over to the bins of DC Adaptors. I spent some time searching for and trying out adapters that looked like they might fit into, over or around the factory outlet piece before asking an employee.

If he was correct, there is nothing that DIRECTLY adapts the DW735 ro a 'standard' shop vacuum (I've a Rigid).

Thought to ask here if there was an adaptor (or combination) that works.

For now, I'm using a piece of PVC I heated up to make it fit

You would fill a shop vac with one board. You might do better with just a 4 inch hose and a trash can. The 735 has a pretty strong blower in it.

What Scott said.
This cyclone setup works pretty well for me.
The hose from the side of the cyclone goes to the plainer.
Keeps the shop vac clean. All dust goes in the can.

It's what I do. Just put a screen or expanded lath on top and it will contain 95% +

Scott is correct this thing has a powerful blower in it.

Hmmm, our recently acquired DW735 came with an adapter that fits perfectly to our Fein 2.5" hose. Also had one on the 14 year old DW735 that this one replaced. Item I in the diagram from the manual:

Strong Blower. RIGHT

RIGHT, I have something similar - a separator lid thing in between tool and vacuum.

to our Fein 2.5" hose.

RIGHT - I searched for a Fein 2.5" Vacuum hose to no avail. They offer Accessories | FEIN Power Tools, Inc. Vacuum hose Product number: 3 13 45 065 01 0 but it is 1 1/16" Diameter I also found: " SKU FE31345066010 31345066010, Fein Dust Extractor Hose 1-3/8"X 13' $66.69 "

The adapter in the diagram appears to be the same one that came with my DW735 as well as the one I played with at Klingspor yesterday" " I was in Klingspor yesterday and took the connector off the DW735 . . . "

If Fein offers a 2.5" hose that fits that DW735 Adaptor, I could not find it. Then again, why would I want to invest seventy bucks in a Fein hose when I own a Rigid Shop vacuum?

I think the ($1.49) SPLICE CONNECTOR (Woodstock 2-1/2 Inch Dust Collection Hose Splice D4227 SKU: WS-D4227) would fit into (insert) the DW Adapter and into 2.5" I.D. Vacuum hose. However, this would have me discarding the RIGID vacuum hose and purchasing a length of 2.5" hose as well as a fitting for the other/cyclone end.

I'll have to post a picture of my existing solution - day after tomorrow at best.

Did you look at the uni-vac that was posted on here a while ago?

 

[mgreene93]

i have one of these bags connected to my 735 without the extra pipe, but this setup looks like a good idea.

Know anybody near you with a 3D printer?

Shop Vac Adapter for DW735 by lendres

A hose adapter to allow a DW375 planer to be used with a 2.5-inch shop vac hose.The adapter that comes with the planer is meant to be used with a 4-inch dust collection system (the maximum volume of chips it can produce can overwhelm a 2.5-inch hose). However, we don't all have 4-inch systems...

Dust Control Flex Cuff with Hose Clamps, 2-1/2-Inch
I watched a YouTube video about it and bought one of these things. Worked fine.

Dust Control Flex Cuff

Yes that is an option - in the Plumbing Department they are called No Hub Connectors.

I don't have a DDD Printer either but figure it could take 24 hours to create the connector shown and a full reel of material. I did the equivalent with a few inches of electrical conduit, a PVC coupling and an old HFT heat gun.

Nope, never saw it.

just a 4 inch hose and a trash can.

The DW735 dust port is less than 3.141 * 1.25" ^2 I am not an engineer, but seriously doubt that a 4" diameter hose would improve things at all.

The outlet is nominally about 2.25" I.D. (or less), but a portion of the area is obstructed by the 'adapter locking mechanism.' The vanes in the adapter further obstruct and diminish the effective outlet area. See pics

(the maximum volume of chips it can produce can overwhelm a 2.5-inch hose)

Well now, the DW735 was designed to work with a 2.5" hose. The Adapter that comes with it allows attaching the machine to a 4" Vacuum System. When I went out earlier to get a shot of the 'adapter*' I use with my Rigid "ShopVac," I confirmed that the output port is significantly less in area than calculating the area of a 2.5" circle would suggest. There is a restriction on the machine (as a consequence of the adapter locking mechanism) before the adapter is attached replete with its six obstructions/vanes.

Apparently, owning a DDD Printer doesn't make you an expert at fluid mechanics (;harles

* Which appears to work just fine even as it effectively reduces the diameter down to about 2.25" enroute to the dust deputy separator between the DW735 and the Rigid 'ShopVac'

Strong Blower. RIGHT

I'm not sure about yours but the couple of times the dust collection hose has come off of mine the 735 will shoot chips across the garage

I know you're asking about a simple adapter, but someone on another forum has used the combination below, on his 735, for the past 2½ years:

Dust Right Quick Change 4'' Elbow Tool Port

Get dust around corners with maximum efficiency—flexible end fits your tool; rigid end connects to the Quick Change Handle or to 4'' hose (both sold separately).

The Clear Flexible Dust Collection hose is ideal for any work shop. The extreme flexibility allows you to easily position the dust collection hose exactly where you want it.

You can use something like this: Trash Can Adapter for Leaf Blower

Don't I know it! Before I made the adapter I use, I just 'et er rip and swept up after! (And brushed and vacuumed as well).
