Why Drill Dust Collection Matters in Every Workshop

If you’ve ever drilled into MDF, plywood, or drywall, you know the mess it leaves behind—and more importantly, the fine dust that lingers long after you’re done. That dust isn’t just inconvenient; according to OSHA and NIOSH, prolonged exposure to wood dust can pose serious health risks, including respiratory issues. Add to that the frustration of misaligned holes, and what should be a quick job can turn into a time-consuming problem.

That’s exactly why we created the POWERTEC 70450 Drill Dust Collection System with Integrated Drill Bushing Guide—a compact, easy-to-use tool that helps you drill cleaner, safer, and more accurately every time.

Designed for Dust-Free Drilling
At its core, the 70450 is built to solve two of the biggest drilling challenges: dust and accuracy. By connecting directly to your shop vacuum, the system captures dust at the source, keeping your workspace clear and your lungs protected. The suction base also stabilizes the unit, so it stays firmly in place whether you’re working on walls, floors, or ceilings.

Key Features You’ll Appreciate

• Dust Collection Boot with Suction Base

A durable ABS body with a foam seal provides strong suction and anti-slip stability, even for overhead drilling.

• Integrated Drill Guide Bushings

Includes four precision bushings (1/4", 5/16", 3/8", and 1/2") to help you keep your bit straight, reducing the chance of angled or wandering holes.

• Support for Large Bits

Need to use Forstner bits, carbide hole saws, or larger cutters? Remove the clear cover for a 2-3/4” max opening while still maintaining effective dust control.

• Clear Polycarbonate Dust Cover

Offers full visibility and impact resistance, containing dust and debris as you drill.

• Precision Alignment Aids

Built-in hash marks help you quickly line up to your mark for spot-on accuracy.

Easy Compatibility with Your Shop Setup
The 70450 works seamlessly with POWERTEC’s own hose kits (70355 and 70376) for a complete plug-and-play experience. With the included Quick-Change Adapter, setup is quick, stable, and tool-free.

Prefer a third-party vacuum? No problem. The upcoming POWERTEC 70479 Universal Quick-Change Adapter will allow you to connect the 70450 to most common hose sizes—from 1-1/4" to 2-1/2".

A Smarter Solution for Every Workshop
Whether you’re drilling pilot holes, hanging shelves, or cutting large-diameter openings, the 70450 makes the process cleaner and more precise. Less dust on your bench, less airborne particulate, and straighter holes—it’s a simple upgrade that pays off every time you pick up your drill.
