Makita XTR01Z Compact Router Dust Port Size and Vacuum Adapter Guide
The Makita XTR01Z is the Makita 18V LXT Brushless Compact Router. A router throws a heavy pile of chips fast. A vac at the port keeps your cut line clear and the bench tidy.
The router has a round dust port on the side. The outside of that port is about 37 mm. That number comes from a third-party adapter made for this router, so treat it as a starting point and measure your own port with calipers before you buy. A GulpDust PETG adapter is sized to the port on one end and your shop vac hose on the other end. No tape. No clamps.

Makita XTR01Z Dust Port Size: About 37 mm Outside, Round
The dust port on the XTR01Z is round and sits on the side of the router. The outside measures about 37 mm. That figure comes from a third-party adapter made for this Makita router, so treat it as a starting point, not a hard spec.
A router throws a lot of chips fast. If those chips pile up, they hide your cut line and pack the base. Pulling them at the port keeps the line clear so your edge stays clean.
Most shop vac hoses are 1-7/8 inch or 2-1/2 inch. They do not seal on a 37 mm port on their own. A GulpDust adapter is printed to match the router port on one end and your vac hose on the other end. Measure your port first so you order the size that seals tight.
How to Measure Your Makita XTR01Z Dust Port
Close caliper jaws around the OUTSIDE of the port stub. That gives you the outer diameter in millimeters. Round to the nearest standard size if your number falls between two.
Next, slide the inside jaws into the port and open them out until they touch the inner wall. That gives you the inner diameter. The inner is what the adapter slides into; the outer tells you how snug the fit will be.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the Makita XTR01Z
First, clear any dust out of the port. A clean port gives the best seal.
Press the small end of the PETG adapter into the port. It is a friction fit, so it holds with a firm push. Then press your shop vac hose onto the other end of the adapter. Turn the vac on before you start the cut.
Makita XTR01Z Dust Collection FAQ
What size is the dust port on the Makita XTR01Z?+
The port is round and about 37 mm on the outside. That number comes from a third-party adapter made for this router, not from Makita, so the inside size is not confirmed. Measure your own port with calipers before you buy.
Does the Makita XTR01Z work with a regular shop vac?+
Yes, with the right adapter. A standard shop vac hose is wider than the Makita dust port. The GulpDust PETG adapter fits the tool port on one end and your vac hose on the other.
Do I need clamps or tape to attach the adapter?+
No. The adapter is a friction fit. You push it onto the port and it holds. The same goes for the vac hose end.
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.
