Full port and fit detail for this tool
The Craftsman CMXETAX is a 10 in. table saw. A table saw throws more chips than any other tool in the shop. Rip a few boards and the floor behind the saw turns white. Sealing the rear port is the single biggest dust win you can get.
The saw has a round dust port at the rear. A 2-1/2 in. shop vac hose looks close, but it sits loose on this port. Loose means it leaks right where the saw makes the most dust. A GulpDust PETG adapter fits this port on one end and your hose on the other end, so the connection holds and the chips go into the vac. No tape. No clamps.

Craftsman CMXETAX Dust Port: What Fits It
The rear dust port on the CMXETAX is round. Our adapter is made to fit it.
Here is the trap. People push a standard 2-1/2 in. shop vac hose at the port, feel it wiggle, and reach for the duct tape. The hose cuff and the port were never made to seal on each other.
A GulpDust adapter grips this port on one end and your vac hose on the other end, so it holds snug and the suction stays at the blade instead of leaking out the joint.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the Craftsman CMXETAX
Unplug the saw first. Then wipe the sawdust off the rear port, so the adapter seats clean and grips all the way around.
Press the saw end of the PETG adapter onto the port. It is a friction fit, 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 touches wood. A table saw fires chips down through the blade slot the moment the cut starts, so the vac needs to be pulling from the first inch.
Why Table Saw Dust Collection Matters More Than Any Other Tool
A table saw runs longer cuts than a miter saw or a sander. Every foot of a rip cut makes chips, so one sheet of plywood can fill a vac drum.
The fine dust is the real problem. It floats, you breathe it, and it settles on every flat surface in the shop. Pulling it at the port traps it before it gets airborne, so your lungs and your shop both stay cleaner.
If you cut a lot, add a cyclone separator between the saw and the vac. The heavy chips drop into a bucket, so your vac filter stays clear and the suction stays strong.
Craftsman CMXETAX Dust Collection FAQ
Will a GulpDust adapter fit the Craftsman CMXETAX dust port?+
Yes. The rear port is round and our adapter is printed to fit it. The other end matches your shop vac hose.
Will a 2-1/2 in. shop vac hose fit the CMXETAX port?+
Not by itself. The hose cuff sits loose on the port, so it leaks and falls off mid cut. The GulpDust PETG adapter grips the port on one end and your hose on the other, so the connection holds tight.
Do I need clamps or tape to attach the adapter?+
No. The adapter is a friction fit. You push it on and it holds, so setup takes seconds and comes apart just as fast when you move the saw.
Does the same adapter fit other jobsite table saws?+
Often, yes. Jobsite table saws share a rear port, so an adapter made for one usually fits the next. Each tool page has the adapter made for that saw.
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. PETG stays stiff and shrugs off shop heat.
