Festool PS 420 EBQ Jig Saw Dust Port Size and Vacuum Adapter Guide (561630)
The Festool PS 420 EBQ is a barrel-grip jig saw. The model number is 561630. It cuts curves and shapes in wood, and it throws fine dust right at the cut line.
The saw has a round dust port on the rear. Festool tools use the 27 mm Plug-it size across the line, so this port should be close to 27 mm. We have not measured this exact model yet, so measure your own port to confirm before you buy. A GulpDust PETG adapter fits the port and steps it to the shop vac hose you already own.

Festool PS 420 EBQ Dust Port Size: Round, Near the 27 mm Festool Size
The dust port on the PS 420 EBQ is round. Festool tools use the 27 mm Plug-it size across the line, but this model is not measured yet, so measure to confirm. Treat 27 mm as a starting point, not a hard spec.
Festool builds its tools and hoses around the 27 mm size. Normal shop vacs do not. If you own a Festool extractor with a 27 mm hose, it should plug right in. The trouble starts when you want to use a normal shop vac.
Most shop vac hoses are 1-7/8 inch or 2-1/2 inch. They are way too big for a small Festool port. A GulpDust adapter matches the saw port on one end and your bigger vac hose on the other end, so you get a clean seal.
How to Measure Your Festool PS 420 EBQ Dust Port
Slide the inside jaws of a caliper into the rear 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.
Festool tools are built around 27 mm, so your reading should land near 27 mm. We have not measured this exact model, so trust your own number and order the adapter to match.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the Festool PS 420 EBQ Jig Saw
Clear any sawdust out of the rear port first. 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 wide end of the adapter.
Turn the vac on before you cut. A jig saw kicks dust right onto your line. Pulling it at the port keeps your cut line clear so you can follow it.
Best Vacuum and Dust Extractor Setup for the PS 420 EBQ Jig Saw
Any shop vac works. A vac with an auto-start outlet is even better, because it turns on when the saw turns on. You do not have to flip a switch.
If you cut a lot, add a cyclone separator between the saw and the vac. The separator drops the heavy chips into a bucket so your vac filter stays clean longer.
Keep the hose short and straight when you can. Long, kinked hoses cut your suction and let dust settle inside.
Festool 561630 Dust Collection FAQ
What size is the dust port on the Festool PS 420 EBQ?+
The port is round. Festool tools use the 27 mm Plug-it size across the line, so it should be close to 27 mm. This exact model is not measured yet, so measure your own port with calipers before you buy.
Does the Festool PS 420 EBQ work with a regular shop vac?+
Yes, with the right adapter. Festool hoses are about 27 mm, but most shop vac hoses are much larger. The GulpDust PETG adapter fits the saw 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 into the port and it holds. The vac hose end works the same way.
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.
Does the same adapter fit other Festool tools?+
Often yes. Festool builds around the 27 mm port across the line, like the ETS 125 EQ sander and the TS 55 track saw. The OF 1010 router uses an oval port, so it is different. Check each tool page and measure before you buy.
