DEWALT DWE6423 sander dust port: extractor and vacuum routes
What DEWALT says joins the DWE6423 sander's dust port: its DWV010 and DWV012 extractors directly, and the DWV9000 for other vacs with 1-1/4 in hoses.
Also listed as DWE6423
Short answer
DEWALT says the DWE6423's dust port fits its DWV010 and DWV012 dust extractors directly. For other vacuums with 1-1/4 in hoses, DEWALT names its DWV9000 connector. The catch: DEWALT gives no port diameter and does not say every other brand's hose cuff fits the DWV9000, so check your hose end first. See DEWALT AirLock and the DWV9000.

Watch out for
- DEWALT names the DWV9000 for other vacuums with 1-1/4 in hoses, but it does not say that every other brand's 1-1/4 in hose cuff fits it.
- DEWALT's support answer gives the same DWV9000 route for the DWE6423K, DWE6421, DWE6421K, DWE6420 and DWE6411. That is a shared connection answer, not a published port size.
- The DWE6423 product page does not mention AirLock, so do not assume an AirLock hose clicks straight onto this sander.
Questions
Does the DWV9000 fit my Shop-Vac hose?
Not confirmed. DEWALT names the DWV9000 for other vacuum systems with 1-1/4 in hoses but lists no other brand's hose cuff. Check your hose end first; how to measure a dust port shows what to measure.[2]
What size is the DWE6423 dust port?
DEWALT does not state it on the product page or the support answer we read, so it is listed here as not confirmed. DEWALT gives a connection route instead of a size.[1]
Do other DEWALT sanders use the same route?
DEWALT's support answer lists the DWE6423K, DWE6421, DWE6421K, DWE6420 and DWE6411 with the DWV9000 route for vacuums with 1-1/4 in hoses.[2]
