Festool OF 1010 EBQ Router Dust Port Size and Vacuum Adapter Guide (574174)
The Festool OF 1010 EBQ is a compact plunge router. The model number is 574174. It cuts grooves, edges, and joints, and it makes a big pile of chips fast.
The router has an oval dust port on the side, not a round one. It is about 29 mm across the short way and about 30 to 31 mm the long way. Measure your own port to confirm before you buy. A GulpDust PETG adapter is shaped to that oval port on one end and steps it to the shop vac hose you already own.

Festool OF 1010 EBQ Dust Port Size: Oval, About 29 mm by 30 to 31 mm
The dust port on the OF 1010 EBQ is oval, not round. This one is different from most Festool tools. It is about 29 mm across the short way and about 30 to 31 mm the long way. Treat that as a close guide, not a hard spec, and measure your own port to confirm before you buy.
Because the port is oval, a plain round fitting will not seal it. You need a part shaped to the oval. A GulpDust adapter is printed to match that oval on one end and a round vac hose on the other.
Most shop vac hoses are 1-7/8 inch or 2-1/2 inch. They are way too big for this small oval port. The adapter matches the router port on one end and your bigger vac hose on the other end, so you get a clean seal.
How to Measure Your Festool OF 1010 EBQ Dust Port
The port is oval, so it has a short side and a long side. Use a caliper to measure both. Open the jaws across the narrow way first, then across the wide way.
You should read about 29 mm the short way and about 30 to 31 mm the long way. Write down both numbers and order the adapter to match.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the Festool OF 1010 EBQ Router
Clear any chips out of the side port first. A clean port gives the best seal.
Press the small end of the PETG adapter onto the oval 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 start the cut. A router throws a lot of chips fast. A good seal at the port pulls those chips straight into the vac instead of all over your bench.
Why Dust Collection Matters on a Router
A router makes a high volume of chips in a hurry. Without a vac those chips pile up on your work and block your view of the cut.
Pulling chips at the port keeps your line clear and your bench clean. It also cuts down on the fine dust that floats up while you rout.
For the best pull, run a strong shop vac and keep the hose short. A cyclone separator helps too, because router chips fill a vac drum fast.
Festool 574174 Dust Collection FAQ
What size is the dust port on the Festool OF 1010 EBQ?+
The port is oval, not round. It is about 29 mm the short way and about 30 to 31 mm the long way. Those numbers are not confirmed for your exact unit, so measure your own port with calipers before you buy.
Does the Festool OF 1010 EBQ work with a regular shop vac?+
Yes, with the right adapter. A standard shop vac hose is round and too big for this small oval port. The GulpDust PETG adapter fits the oval router port on one end and your round 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 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?+
No, not for this router. Most Festool tools use a round 27 mm port, like the ETS 125 EQ sander and the TS 55 track saw. The OF 1010 router is oval, so it needs its own shape. Check each tool page and measure before you buy.
