Kreg K5 Pocket-Hole Jig Dust Port Size and Shop Vac Adapter
The Kreg K5 is a pocket-hole jig. It drills the angled holes that let screws pull two boards tight. Each hole makes a fat stream of chips, and those chips love to pack into the drill guide.
The K5 body has no molded dust port. The port is the Kreg KJDCA dust attachment, and it takes a standard 1-1/4 in (31.75 mm) vacuum hose. If your vac hose is a different size, our PETG adapter steps that KJDCA connection to the hose you own. Measure before you buy.

Kreg K5 Dust Port: The KJDCA Attachment Is the Port
Look at a bare K5 and you will not find a molded dust port. Kreg handles dust with a separate part, the KJDCA dust collection attachment. That attachment is the port on K3, K4, and K5 jigs.
The KJDCA takes a standard 1-1/4 in (31.75 mm) vacuum hose. If your shop vac hose is that size, it hooks up. If it is bigger or smaller, you need a step between them.
That step is our job. A GulpDust PETG adapter fits the 1-1/4 in KJDCA connection on one end and your hose on the other end. One source lists this size, so give the connection a quick caliper check before you order.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the Kreg K5
Fit the KJDCA attachment to the jig first. Without it there is no port to grab.
Measure the connection with calipers to confirm the 1-1/4 in size. Then press the small end of the GulpDust adapter onto the KJDCA and press your vac hose onto the wide end. Both joints are friction fits, no clamps.
Turn the vac on before you drill. Chips get pulled the moment the bit makes them.
Why a Pocket-Hole Jig Clogs Without a Vac
Pocket-hole drilling makes a huge amount of chips in a very short time. The bit hogs out a deep angled hole in seconds.
Those chips have one exit, and it is right where you are working. They pack the drill guide, bury the clamp, and coat the bench.
A vac on the KJDCA port clears the guide as you drill. Cleaner holes, faster work, and no brushing out the jig between boards.
Kreg K5 Dust Collection FAQ
What size is the dust port on the Kreg K5?+
The K5 body has no molded port. The Kreg KJDCA dust attachment is the port, and it takes a standard 1-1/4 in (31.75 mm) vacuum hose. Measure the connection before you buy so the fit is tight.
Does the Kreg K5 have a built-in dust port?+
No. The jig body itself has no molded port. Dust collection comes from the KJDCA attachment, which adds the hose connection.
Does the KJDCA fit other Kreg jigs?+
Yes. The KJDCA dust attachment is the port on Kreg K3, K4, and K5 jigs. The same 1-1/4 in connection applies across those models.
My shop vac hose is not 1-1/4 in. What do I do?+
Use a step adapter. The GulpDust PETG adapter fits the KJDCA connection on one end and your hose size on the other end. Friction fit on both sides, no tape.
Can I print this adapter myself?+
Yes. You can buy the printed PETG part shipped from the US, or download the STL file and print it at home. We suggest PETG with 3 walls and 25 percent infill.
