Full port and fit detail for this tool
The Makita DJV182 is an 18V LXT cordless jig saw. It cuts curves, holes, and shapes in wood and other stock. A jig saw drops sawdust right on the cut line, so a good dust hookup keeps your view clear and your line easy to follow.
The saw has a dust port at the rear. We print our adapter to the size you measure there. Our PETG adapter plugs into that port and steps it to any standard shop vac or dust extractor hose.

Makita DJV182 Dust Port: What Connects To It
The DJV182 has a dust port at the back of the saw. Our adapter is printed to plug into it.
A shop vac hose rarely matches that port, so people often tape one on and lose most of the suction. That size gap is why dust leaks and the cut line stays covered.
A GulpDust adapter grips the saw port on one end and your vac hose on the other end. Firm push.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the Makita DJV182
Clear any sawdust out of the rear port first. A clean port gives the best grip.
Push the tool end of the PETG adapter into the port. We print it to the size you measure, so it holds with a firm press. Then press your shop vac or dust extractor hose onto the other end.
Turn the vac on before you start the cut. Running the vac while you saw pulls the dust away so you can see your line the whole way through.
Why Jig Saws Need Good Dust Collection
A jig saw blade moves fast and dumps sawdust right on top of your cut line. When you cut a curve or follow a pattern, that dust hides the line you need to see.
Pulling the dust at the port keeps your line clear so your curves come out clean and true. It also keeps more fine wood dust out of the air you breathe.
For the cleanest cut, run a steady vac the whole time. Any shop vac with the right adapter does the main job.
Makita DJV182 Dust Collection FAQ
What size is the dust port on the Makita DJV182?+
Measure it with calipers. It is at the rear of the saw. Enter that number in the builder and we print the adapter to it. You pick the hose end you need.
Does the Makita DJV182 work with a regular shop vac?+
Yes, with an adapter. Most shop vac hoses are 1-7/8 inch or 2-1/2 inch, so measure the port on your tool and the hose end on your vac. The GulpDust PETG adapter is sized to the saw port on one end and to your vac hose on the other.
Do I need clamps to attach the adapter?+
Usually not. We print the adapter to the size you measure, so you press it into the port and it holds. The vac hose end works the same way. Add a wrap of tape at any joint that sees heavy use.
Why does a jig saw still need an adapter?+
A jig saw makes less dust than a router, but the dust still lands on your cut line. You still want an adapter so your vac hose fits snug instead of leaking around the port.
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.
