Does the unit have a kind of dust collection adapter available?

Hitachi part # 323-346 is the dust collector for this router, however the part is discontinued. You can still find it from various stores on google for around $40-45.

They are available for purchase separately from the kit pictured. I would just search dust bag for "Hitachi KM12VC" and see what results you get. They should not be that expensive. You could also look for a kit that includes the dust bag :-)

Gosh, I should ask you where you find the dust bags when you do. I haven't even taken mine out of the box yet. Glad you said it works great and sorry I am not much help.

No, but they work pretty good at trapping the dust. I'm amazed at how much this little vacuum sweeps up.

There should be a standard cheap filter for small particulate/dust. They should all be standard and need no adapter.

if possible put the vac outside and connect thru an open window with an extension hose. Otherwise get an add-on fine filter for your vac. The dust can be phenomenal otherwise.

This not a vacuum like a shop vac.. This is a saw dust collector. Unit works great. I have a number of tools that I plug this unit into.

Maybe aftermarket but it only comes with the 4" or the adapter 4 to 2.5" dust port. For all of its other issues it still isn't worth the $$ even with the adapter included. I think it would clog up pretty quickly with a bag as opposed to a proper dust collection set up.

No. That's the idea. Shouldn't need one : ) It blasts dust away with a waft of air. Great for electronics especially.

The default dust collection could be more accurately called a 'dust sampler'. Pretty useless. On my saw, I removed the useless tiny plastic scoop thing and fabricated my own custom scoop out of thin cardboard and masking-tape. It actually looks rather like the scoop on the Festool Kapex, and works quite well, considering. Then i hook up my shopvac to the saw.

Mine came with an adapter, but I found it more trouble than it's worth. It's just a tube that allows you to connect the vacuum hose to it. With the vacuum hose connected, I found it awkward to control the sander. The hose always seemed to catch on the edge of the piece I was sanding and wouldn't allow me to move it in the direction I wanted until I freed the hose again. I much prefer the filtered dust catcher setup. Yeah, it fills up rather quickly, but it pulls off and cleans out easily.

Since this is a bagless canister, you just have to empty out the collection container. There is a small, easily removed filter pad at the top of the cyclones, but all I have ever had to do was pop it out and tap it on a hard surface outside maybe every 2 or 3 times the collection container fills up to knock the loose dust off.

No, it has a hepa filter bag inside a canister. It's a dry vac only. Hope that helps.

No, but see about vaccuming out accumulated dust. That can perhaps be a problem.

Sorry to tell you, just another piece of junk. I just put mine in the garage for recycling. Spent a bit more, bought a B & D Dustbuster, all worth it.

The manual doesn't show different type of filters, just the supplied one. Replacement filters are available. Cleaning the filter is easy. I don't have that type of dust.

It certainly should have a removable filter. It fits tightly against the inner end of the dust collection bin. If it was missing the bin wouldn't be sealed against the body of the vacuum and the vacuum wouldn't work well if at all. The filter can be removed for cleaning and it will last for some time, but it is a good idea to have a second filter.

No dust extraction kit did not come with the multi-tool. I have not found a time when it would have been necessary. Excellent tool.
