Makita Dust Extractor Accessories
Makita dust extractor attachment kit keeps SDS drilling and chasing cleaner, cutting airborne dust and saving you a proper end-of-day sweep.
When you're coring, drilling anchors, or knocking out back boxes, the mess gets everywhere and it's not just untidy, it's a headache to breathe in and a pain to clear up. Makita hoover attachments and vacuum accessories are made to fit the tools properly, so the shrouds sit square, the hoses don't fight you, and the dust actually gets pulled where it's made. Pick the right Makita SDS dust extractor set-up for your drill and extractor, and get back to drilling instead of cleaning.
What Jobs Are Makita Dust Extractor Attachments Best At?
- Drilling fixings into concrete and blockwork with an SDS where you need the dust captured at the hole, not floating round the room and settling on finished surfaces.
- Chasing and cutting indoors on refurbs where you cannot be coating the client's house in fine dust, and you need a Makita hoover attachment that stays put while you work.
- Working overhead on ceilings and soffits where dust drops straight in your face unless you run a Makita SDS hoover set-up tight to the bit.
- Fast site clean-downs in occupied buildings and commercial jobs where a Makita vacuum attachment kit helps you stay on top of housekeeping without stopping the job.
- Handover and snagging work where you are drilling into finished plaster and paint and you need the dust controlled so you are not marking walls and floors.
Choosing the Right Makita Dust Extractor Attachment
Sort the right one by matching it to the tool and the job, because a sloppy fit is worse than no attachment at all.
1. SDS Drill Mounted vs Hose and Shroud
If you are drilling lots of holes for fixings, go for a Makita SDS dust extractor that mounts to the drill so it follows the bit every time. If you are mixing tasks and need flexibility, a Makita hoover attachment with a shroud and hose can cover more tools, but only if it seals properly to the surface.
2. Check Compatibility Before You Buy
Do not guess on model numbers. Make sure the Makita dust extractor attachment matches your SDS body and your extractor hose size, otherwise you will be fighting loose adaptors, split rubber collars, and poor suction at the point of drilling.
3. Depth and Diameter of Holes
If you are doing deeper fixings or larger diameter drilling, choose an attachment designed to give you clearance and travel, not one that bottoms out and stops you finishing the hole. For small plug and anchor work, a compact head is quicker and less clumsy in corners.
Makita Dust Extractor Attachment FAQs
What is the dust extractor for Makita SDS drill?
It is a Makita SDS dust extractor attachment that captures dust right at the drilling point, either with a drill mounted collector or a shroud connected to a vacuum. It is used for cleaner holes, less airborne dust, and less clean-up on concrete, block, and masonry drilling.
What is the difference between Makita BHP and DHP?
BHP is Makita's older naming for their combi drills, and DHP is the newer naming you will see on current ranges. The exact features still depend on the specific model, so check the spec for hammer performance, chuck type, and whether it is brushed or brushless before you match any Makita hoover attachments.
How much is the Makita dx06?
Pricing moves with stock and promos, so there is no single fixed figure. Check the live ITS listing for the current price, and make sure you are comparing like for like because some DX units are body only and others are supplied as part of a Makita vacuum attachment kit.
How to use Makita dust extractor?
Fit the Makita dust extractor attachment to the correct drill or connect the shroud to your extractor hose, then check you have a clean filter and decent suction before you start. Keep the shroud flat to the surface while drilling, do not let the hose kink, and empty the box or change the bag before suction drops off.
Will a Makita SDS dust extractor fit any Makita SDS drill?
No, not always. Some units are made for specific SDS bodies and collar shapes, and hose sizes vary between extractors. Check the model compatibility list and hose diameter so you are not left with a loose mount or an adaptor that leaks air.
Is a drill dust attachment enough on its own, or do I still need a proper extractor?
For proper dust control on masonry and concrete, you still need an extractor with good airflow and a clean filter. The attachment is the capture point, but the vacuum is what does the pulling, so a weak or clogged extractor will leave dust behind.

The Basics: How Makita SDS Dust Extraction Works for You
The whole point is simple: catch the dust at the hole, not after it has filled the room. These attachments do it in a couple of common ways.
1. Drill Mounted Collectors
A Makita SDS dust extractor unit clips to the drill and sits right behind the bit, so as the flutes bring dust out, the suction pulls it straight into the collector or down the hose. You get cleaner holes, clearer sight of your mark, and far less mess on the floor.
2. Shrouds and Nozzles on a Vacuum Hose
A Makita hoover attachment shroud seals to the wall or floor and pulls dust away as you drill or cut. It is only as good as the seal and the airflow, so keep the brush skirt clean and do not kink the hose.
3. Filters and Bags Still Matter
Even the best Makita vacuum accessories will feel weak if the extractor filter is clogged or the bag is full. On concrete and plaster dust, stay on top of filter cleaning and swap bags before suction drops off mid-task.
Makita Vacuum Accessories That Keep Dust Control Working
The right add-ons stop leaks, blockages, and weak suction, so your Makita dust extractor attachment actually earns its keep.
1. Hose Adaptors and Step Connectors
These save you from bodging tape round mismatched fittings. Get the correct adaptor and your Makita hoover attachment stays airtight, which is what keeps dust capture strong at the hole.
2. Replacement Brush Skirts and Seals
Once the brush ring is torn or packed with grit, the shroud will not seal and you will see dust escape straight away. Swapping the skirt is a cheap fix that brings the performance back.
3. Spare Filter Bags and Main Filters
If the bag is full or the filter is blocked, your Makita vacuum attachment kit will feel pointless because airflow drops off. Keep spares in the van so you are not trying to finish a job with a wheezing extractor.
