DeWalt DCS520B 6-1/2 in. Track Saw
Specifications
Full port and fit detail for this tool
The DeWalt DCS520B is a 6-1/2 in. track saw. A track saw throws a fine line of dust right where you cut. Pulling that dust at the port keeps your line clean and the air clear.
The saw has a round dust port at the rear. A GulpDust PETG adapter fits that port on one end and your shop vac hose on the other end. No tape. No clamps.

DeWalt DCS520B Dust Port: What Fits It
The dust port on the DCS520B is round and sits at the rear of the saw. Our adapter is made to fit it.
Most shop vac hoses are 1-7/8 inch or 2-1/2 inch. Neither one seals on this port by itself. That gap is why dust sprays out instead of going into the hose.
A GulpDust adapter is printed to match the saw port on one end and your vac hose on the other end. The fit is snug, so the dust goes where it should.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the DeWalt DCS520B
First, clear any dust out of the port. A clean port gives the best fit.
Press the tool 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. Turn the vac on before you start the cut.
Why a Track Saw Needs Dust Collection
A track saw cuts fast and makes a lot of fine dust. That dust hangs in the air and lands on your track, where it can throw off the next cut.
Pulling the dust right at the port keeps the track clean and the air clear. You see your line, and you breathe easier.
