Dewalt DW733 Dust Collector Attachment

May 03, 2004 11 Replies

I built this dust collection attachment for that Dewalt DW733 planer I mentioned here on rec.woodworking yesterday that I got at a local pawn shop. Could have spent $35 on a plastic one from Dewalt but it doesn't have a 4" outlet.

The plastic one from Dewalt that came with my 733 broke and dewalt sent me a sheet metal one free just for asking.

I suspect that the plastic model has been discontinued.

Both has a 4" port.

I suppose I made some assumptions from the brief product description. I ordered one the day I picked up the planer and should be here this week. Probably, I'll send it on back. Thanks for the info.. Larry

Mine came with the sheetmetal one but the 4" port isn't tapered. As a result it is next to impossible to use a quick connect. I attached an extra gate with a piece of hose and the quick connect fits okay now.

Let me clarify that a tad.

The plastic one has a 4" port, but also came with an adapter to reduce that to 2.5 (or whatetever shopvac size is)

If the product description said 2.5... well then you probably read that correctly. :-)

I bought a metal one, with a 4" outlet and a 4"-->2" adaptor, last Friday at a local tool store for $8.99.

The metal version has a more centered outlet and picks up chips better than the plastic version.

Grace, dear, you're replying to a post from fourteen years ago...

Maybe I had a brain fart -- wouldn't be the first time. I thought I saw "2004" as the date of the original post. Either way, though, I'd be surprised if the person she's responding to ever sees her post.

Nah, you had it right. It's excusable since the post was so old they used to carve the numbers in wood blocks back then before they converted the text to electrons ;)

Even if he was alive and saw her inquiry, he has probably forgotten where he bought it or the place closed down 8 years or more ago due to being unable to keep up with online sales.

Your are correct! I thought you replied to another post that was a response to a 2000 post. I farted out my brain. ;~)
