UJK Parf Dust Port

The port works fine but its design flaw is the connection of the two arms that snap around the drill bit guide. There is a lot of stress at the connection and mine broke merely by falling onto my shop floor from work bench height. I have been unsuccessful gluing it back on with crazy glue. The arm must bend before it snaps back around the back of the drill guide. The bending puts stress where the arm joins the port body and breaks off there.

The inside dimension of the dust port is smaller than the feature on the jig it is supposed to snap onto. UJK, this is terrible engineering and production controls on your part. You should be disappointed that you sent this to me.

I just purchased the Parf System over the holidays and created some folding work tops. The system is fantastic, but one of the the arms of this Vacuum Port broke on its first use. The arm looked bowed in to begin with so it must have had more stress when attaching. However I think it’s a poor design to have those thin arms and I hope this port is redesigned.

The plastic "fingers" are very fragile. I followed the instructions on Peter Parfitt's Youtube video to put this one, worked great once installed. However, removing it is very tricky, if you bend the fingers even a tiny bit too much, they break. Kudos to TSO's great support, who quickly sent me a replacement, but unfortunately that one broke attempting to remove it VERY carefully. I even heated it up first to make the plastic a bit more flexible. I guess I'll make a shop-made one as shown in Peter Parfitt's video.

I purchased my Parf system before this dust port became available. Having done the drilling without it and now with it I can unequivocally say it is worth every penny in making the drilling process faster. It clears shavings quickly and thoroughly.
