Full port and fit detail for this tool
The Ridgid R8606B is the 18V brushless 5 in. random orbit sander. It runs on the Ridgid 18V battery. A sander makes fine dust that hangs in the air and gets into your lungs. Pulling it right at the port keeps more of it out of the air.
The sander has a round dust port on the side. A GulpDust PETG adapter fits that port on one end and your shop vac hose on the other end. No tape. No clamps.

Ridgid R8606B Dust Port: What Fits It
The dust port on the R8606B is round with a tapered nub. Our PETG adapter is built to fit it.
Most shop vac hoses are 1-7/8 in. or 2-1/2 in. Neither one presses onto a sander port on its own. That gap is why dust sprays out instead of going into the hose.
The adapter closes the gap. It grips the sander port on one end and your vac hose on the other end.
Why a Sander Needs the Vac at the Port
A sander turns wood into powder. That powder floats long after the tool stops spinning.
The stock bag catches the coarse stuff and lets the fine stuff through. A vac pulls at the port, before the dust reaches the room.
It also keeps the pad clear. Less packed dust under the disc means the paper cuts longer.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the Ridgid R8606B
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 of the adapter. Turn the vac on before you start to sand.
Ridgid R8606B Dust Collection FAQ
What fits the dust port on the Ridgid R8606B?+
Our PETG adapter does. One end presses onto the sander port. The other end takes your shop vac hose.
Does the Ridgid R8606B work with a regular shop vac?+
Yes, with the right adapter. A standard shop vac hose is wider than the sander 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.
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.
