Makita XGT 40V MAX is Makita's premium cordless platform. It uses the same 36mm dust port standard as the LXT 18V platform. This means the same adapters work for both, which is good news if you own tools from both platforms.
XGT 40V Dust Ports
| Model | Tool | Port OD |
|---|---|---|
| GCS01Z | 40V MAX XGT Circular Saw 7-1/4" | 36mm |
| GSR01Z | 40V MAX XGT Reciprocating Saw | 36mm |
| GBO01Z | 40V MAX XGT Random Orbit Sander | 36mm |
| GJV01Z | 40V MAX XGT Jigsaw | 36mm |
| SP001GZ | 40V MAX XGT Track Saw | 36mm |
| GWT05Z | 40V MAX XGT Router | 36mm |
All XGT tools use 36mm ports. One adapter covers the entire platform.
What Adapter You Need
For a standard US shop vac with a 1-7/8 inch (47.6mm) hose: get a 36mm to 47.6mm adapter.
For a Makita XCV04Z or XCV10Z cordless vac (also 1-7/8 inch hose): same 36mm to 47.6mm adapter.
For a Festool CT extractor (27mm Plug-it hose): get a 36mm to 27mm adapter. This lets you run Makita XGT tools with Festool HEPA extraction.
XGT vs LXT: Same Adapter?
Yes. Makita XGT 40V and LXT 18V tools both use 36mm ports. The same adapter fits both platforms at the tool end. This is intentional. Makita kept the port standard consistent across platforms so existing adapters and accessories still work.
If you are upgrading from LXT to XGT, you do not need new adapters.
Best Vac Pairings for XGT Tools
Makita XCV04Z (18V LXT, 0.5 gallon): The most compact Makita vac. Good for small jobs and portability. Uses a 1-7/8 inch hose. A 36mm to 47.6mm adapter connects any XGT or LXT tool to it.
Makita XCV10Z (18V LXT, 2.1 gallon): Larger capacity for longer sessions. Same 1-7/8 inch hose. Same 36mm to 47.6mm adapter.
Standard shop vac (1-7/8 inch hose): Works with the same 36mm to 47.6mm adapter. A 9-gallon Ridgid with a HEPA filter is a common pairing for XGT track saw and sander work.
XGT Track Saw (SP001GZ) Specific Notes
The SP001GZ is Makita's flagship cordless track saw. It takes a 36mm adapter at the tool port and connects to any 1-7/8 inch vac with the standard 36mm to 47.6mm adapter.
The SP001GZ comes with a guide rail. Makita guide rails work with aftermarket connectors to extend to any length. The dust capture on the SP001GZ is excellent, the closed rail system channels nearly all chips into the port.
For finish panel work, pair the SP001GZ with a Festool CT MIDI or Makita XCV10Z and a HEPA filter. This gives you clean cordless track cuts with near-full dust capture.
