Full port and fit detail for this tool
The Makita DJV182 is an 18V LXT cordless jig saw. It cuts curves, holes, and shapes in wood and other stock. A jig saw drops sawdust right on the cut line, so a good dust hookup keeps your view clear and your line easy to follow.
The saw has a small round dust port at the rear. Our adapter fits it. Our PETG adapter plugs into that port and steps it to any standard shop vac or dust extractor hose. No tape. No clamps.

Makita DJV182 Dust Port: What Fits It
The DJV182 has a small round dust port at the back of the saw. Our adapter is printed to plug into it.
A 2-1/2 inch shop vac hose is way too big to fit that port, so people often tape a big hose on and lose most of the suction. That size gap is why dust leaks and the cut line stays covered.
A GulpDust adapter grips the saw port on one end and your bigger vac hose on the other end. Firm push, no tape.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the Makita DJV182
Clear any sawdust out of the rear port first. A clean port gives the best grip.
Push the tool end of the PETG adapter into the port. It is a friction fit, so it holds with a firm press. Then press your shop vac or dust extractor hose onto the other end.
Turn the vac on before you start the cut. Running the vac while you saw pulls the dust away so you can see your line the whole way through.
Why Jig Saws Need Good Dust Collection
A jig saw blade moves fast and dumps sawdust right on top of your cut line. When you cut a curve or follow a pattern, that dust hides the line you need to see.
Pulling the dust at the port keeps your line clear so your curves come out clean and true. It also keeps more fine wood dust out of the air you breathe.
For the cleanest cut, run a steady vac the whole time. Any shop vac with the right adapter does the main job.
Makita DJV182 Dust Collection FAQ
What size is the dust port on the Makita DJV182?+
It is a small round port at the rear of the saw. Our adapter is built to plug into it. You pick the hose end you need.
Does the Makita DJV182 work with a regular shop vac?+
Yes, with an adapter. Most shop vac hoses are 1-7/8 inch or 2-1/2 inch, which is far bigger than this port. The GulpDust PETG adapter is sized to the saw port on one end and to your vac hose on the other.
Do I need clamps to attach the adapter?+
No. The adapter is a friction fit. You press it into the port and it holds. The vac hose end works the same way.
Why is the jig saw port smaller than a router port?+
A jig saw makes less dust than a router, so Makita uses a smaller port. You still want an adapter so a big vac hose fits snug instead of leaking around the port.
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.
