Makita 18v Cordless vacuum. XCV117. Is it a FAIL for Makita??

Unboxing of the Makita 18v cordless vacuum. Sucking up some sawdust and trying out on the track saw. Or not.

I spoke to Makita about this and they indicated that this product (which I also own) is NOT a dust extractor. That is why they don't make specific adaptors for power tool use.

Thanks for letting me know that! Every Vacuum is a dust extractor to me. Would be nice to hook it to a saw easily. Oh well.

[@luns486]

really? that's so disappointing. this would be the perfect dust extractor for my micro workshop. have you tried using it as a dust extractor?

[@richardclack3007]

@@luns486 I personally have not. The hose will make it hard. It's not flexible enough in my opinion. I have just used it for general light cleaning. I am sure it would work on a limited basis

@jack12343 Thanks Mate! Riots is correct! 😜

I just got one and it's actually advertised attached to the 36v compound saw which I have and why I got one but it's very annoying how every makita tool has different size dust port it just stuppid.
