Full port and fit detail for this tool
The Milwaukee 2723-20 is the M18 FUEL 1/4 inch compact router. It trims edges and cuts grooves on the M18 battery. A router throws a lot of chips fast, more than most small tools.
The router has a dust port on the side. A GulpDust PETG adapter is printed to the size you measure, so it slides on with a firm push and stays put.

Milwaukee 2723-20 Dust Port: What Connects To It
It gets wider from the grip out to the lip, so a straight sleeve rocks on it and a taped hose slides off.
Most shop vac hoses are 1-7/8 inch or 2-1/2 inch. They do not fit this port on their own. That gap is why chips fly past the hose and pile up on your work.
A GulpDust adapter is printed to the size you measure on one end and your vac hose on the other end. It grips both sides so the router pulls chips straight into the vac.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the M18 FUEL Compact Router
First, clear any chips out of the side port. A clean port gives the best fit.
Press the tool end of the PETG adapter onto the port. We print it to the size you measure, so it grips on the slope with a firm push. Then press your shop vac hose onto the other end.
Turn the vac on before you start the cut. A router moves fast, so the vac needs to be running to keep up with the chips.
Why a Router Needs Strong Dust Pickup
A router spins at high speed and clears a lot of wood fast. That means a big pile of chips in a short time.
Those chips cover your cut line and bury the edge you are shaping. Pulling them at the port keeps the work clear so you can see what you are doing.
Use a shop vac with good suction and keep the hose short. The more air the vac moves, the more chips it grabs before they hit the bench.
Milwaukee 2723-20 Dust Collection FAQ
What size is the dust port on the Milwaukee 2723-20?+
Measure the dust port with calipers. If it sticks out like a tube, measure across the outside. If it is a hole, measure across the inside. Enter that number in the builder and we print the adapter to it.
Does the Milwaukee 2723-20 work with a regular shop vac?+
Yes, with the right adapter. A shop vac hose and a tool port rarely match, so measure both. We print the GulpDust PETG adapter to your router port measurement on one end and to your vac hose size on the other.
Do I need clamps or tape to attach the adapter?+
Usually not. We print the adapter to the size you measure, so you push it onto the port and it holds. The same goes for the vac hose end. Add a wrap of tape at any joint that sees heavy use.
Will a shop vac keep up with the chips from a router?+
Yes, if it has good suction. A router makes a lot of chips fast. Keep the hose short and straight, and turn the vac on before you start the cut.
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.
Does the same adapter fit other Milwaukee M18 tools?+
Not always. Ports can differ between Milwaukee M18 tools, so measure the port on yours. The builder prints the adapter to the number you enter.
