SawStop PCS175-PFA30 Professional Cabinet Saw
Specifications
Full port and fit detail for this tool
The SawStop PCS175-PFA30 is the Professional Cabinet Saw. A cabinet saw catches heavy chips in the cabinet below. The fine dust is another story. It comes off the top of the blade, right past the guard, and straight at your face.
That is what the blade-guard port is for. The saw also has a separate rear cabinet port made for a full dust collector. This page covers the guard port. A GulpDust PETG adapter fits that guard port on one end and your shop vac hose on the other end. No tape. No clamps.

SawStop PCS175-PFA30 Blade-Guard Port: What Fits It
The dust port on the PCS blade guard is round. Our PETG adapter is built to fit it.
Shop vac hoses run 1-7/8 in. or 2-1/2 in. They do not seal on this port by themselves. A loose hose on the guard means the fine dust slips past and hangs in the shop air.
The adapter grips the guard port on one end and your vac hose on the other end. The fit is snug, so the vac pulls the dust off the top of the blade before you breathe it.
Two Ports, Two Jobs: Guard Port and Cabinet Port
The PCS175-PFA30 splits dust collection into two lines. The rear cabinet port handles the heavy chips that fall into the saw body, and it is built for a dust collector with big airflow.
The blade-guard port is the small line. It is sized for a shop vac, and it grabs the fine dust at the blade before it escapes. The adapter on this page is for the guard port.
Run both lines and the saw kicks up very little dust. Run only the cabinet port and the fine stuff still gets in the air. The guard port is the cheap fix for the dust that matters most to your lungs.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the PCS Blade Guard
First, wipe dust off the guard port so the adapter seats clean.
Press the adapter onto the guard 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 the cut. Keep the hose routed so it cannot drag the guard while you feed stock.
SawStop PCS175-PFA30 Dust Collection FAQ
What fits the blade-guard dust port on the SawStop PCS175-PFA30?+
Our PETG adapter does. One end presses onto the guard port. The other end takes your shop vac hose.
Can I run the PCS175-PFA30 on a shop vac alone?+
A shop vac fits the guard port and does that job well. The rear cabinet port is made for a dust collector, and a shop vac cannot move enough air for it. Best setup: shop vac on the guard, dust collector on the cabinet.
Which port catches the fine dust?+
The blade-guard port. Fine dust comes off the top of the blade, and the guard port pulls it at the source. The cabinet port catches the heavy chips below the table.
Do I need clamps or tape to attach the adapter?+
No. The adapter is a friction fit. You push it onto the guard 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.
