Blum Vacuum Connector V2 is a dust collection connector designed by a cabinetmaker specifically for the Blum Minipress, so it targets the way hinge cup boring actually happens in the shop. The connector slides onto the Minipress depth stops, which positions dust collection right at the drilling area and reduces cleanup around the machine. It connects to any standard shop vac hose with a 2.25 inch outer diameter, creating a direct path for debris into the vacuum during hinge cup routing. This setup keeps chips away from the boring location, which helps maintain a clearer view of the work and supports more controlled drilling. Each unit is custom-made to order using a 3D printer, so the form is tailored to the Blum Minipress geometry and the stated hose size. That purpose-built fit supports repeatable hinge cup routing when jobs stack up.
The vacuum connector relies on the Blum Minipress depth stops as its mounting point, so installation centers on sliding the part onto those stops until it is in place. This mounting method uses an existing feature on the machine, which avoids extra drilling into the tool and keeps the connection aligned with the boring pattern. At the other end, the connector accepts any standard shop vac hose with a 2.25 inch outer diameter, so the hose mates to the stated size and carries chips away during hinge cup routing. With dust collection positioned off the depth stops and connected to that hose, the Minipress can bore while debris is drawn off the work area.
This vacuum connector is designed by a cabinetmaker specifically for the Blum Minipress, so its role is focused on hinge cup drilling on that machine. By sliding onto the Minipress depth stops, it occupies space already aligned to the boring layout, which helps position collection where chips fall from the bit. The connection to any standard shop vac hose with a 2.25 inch outer diameter ties the Minipress into portable or central vacs that use this hose size, directing debris away during hinge cup routing. When the machine is set up for cup boring, the connector adds dust control without changing the basic drilling sequence, so the operator can keep typical Minipress workflows while routing hinge cups in a cleaner zone.
The BLUM VAC V2 designation identifies this as a Version 2 design of the vacuum connector, and that updated version is described as making routing hinge cups clean and mess-free. Because it mounts by sliding onto the depth stops, the connector returns to the same functional position whenever it is installed, which supports consistent dust pickup from part to part. The direct connection to a 2.25 inch outer diameter shop vac hose means airflow is dedicated to the drilling area, helping carry chips away as they are produced. Each unit is custom-made to order using a 3D printer, so the form is built around the Blum Minipress and the specified hose diameter, which supports a predictable fit. This repeatable location and hose interface help keep the boring zone clearer over long runs of hinge cup holes.

The vacuum connector slides onto the depth stops of the Blum Minipress, using that existing feature as its mounting location to position dust collection at the drilling area.
The connector is designed to connect to any standard shop vac hose with a 2.25 inch outer diameter, so it matches that stated hose size for dust collection.
The vacuum connector positions dust collection at the hinge cup drilling area, which makes routing hinge cups clean and mess-free and helps keep chips away from the boring zone.
Each unit is custom-made to order using a 3D printer, so the connector form is produced for the Blum Minipress and the described 2.25 inch hose interface.
The manufacturer part number is BLUM VAC V2, which identifies this Version 2 Blum Vacuum Connector for reference and reordering.
The Blum Vacuum Connector V2 is built for the Blum Minipress, with a slide-on depth stop mount and a connection for any standard shop vac hose with a 2.25 inch outer diameter. Those details define how it ties drilling on the Minipress directly into dust collection so routing hinge cups stays clean and mess-free. For shops using the Blum Minipress for cup boring and running vacuums with that hose size, the BLUM VAC V2 connector provides a targeted way to pull chips away from the work zone.
