This adapter connects a 4” dust collection blast gate like that on the Porter-Cable Bench-top thickness planer to a conventional 2¼” shop vac hose. To start, I grabbed Pascal32’s lockline 2-1/2" - 3" adaptor to 4" flex line (thing:4663666). Pascal32’s design includes a Fusion design file which is parametric, so I changed the diameters to match my particulars. I also moved the center of the larger diameter to be concentric with the smaller diameter. Pascal32’s design has them eccentric. I think the adapter will be higher speed if they are concentric.
I printed it without supports and on my machine, the Snapmaker A350T, it worked fine. Planers produce high volume sawdust so this may choke a lot of smaller shop vacs. My Rigid one seems to be able to keep up. At least in the first day of testing with some cedar boards.
After all day testing running red cedar and white oak through planer, the adapter works great.
