If you are talking about the part the hose is hooked to. I think Norm bought a port, I got mine from Rockler.

Here's the link from Rockler for the part as specified in the NYW plan.

On his re-make, Norm mounted a piece of PVC using urethane glue for the box at the bottom. I don't remember what he used at the fence, but he made the cavity with mdf. Just saw that show a few weeks ago on DIY.

i kept trying to remember myself, i think i saved it on the DVR, but havent looked yet.

I dont recall what he did, I think he 'skipped' over that part

Instead of messing the the PVA glue and PVC, I opted to use a 4" hole saw to cut out the opening, and then mounted a 4" port that I picked up at the local power tool store simply by screwing it onto the back of the unit.

As for the DC fitting for the fence. I bought the one from Rockler.

On another DC note for the project: I found that I was able to get great dust collection by hooking the DC up to the 4" port on the back and using a shop vac for the fence connection instead of linking the two together. Put it this way, after cutting a bunch of mdf and regular wood on the table, I have almost no visible dust inside the cabinet.
