Loc-Line 2-1/2" Modular Vacuum System
The 2-1/2" Loc-Line system is built for vacuum extraction rather than coolant delivery, designed for swarf, chip and dust collection on CNC routers, machining centres, woodworking machines and bench-top workstations. The larger 2-1/2" bore matches standard shop-vacuum hose sizes and provides enough cross-section for chip and dust flow without choking. Like the smaller Loc-Line systems, hose segments snap together by hand and hold position under vacuum draw — letting you mount the inlet exactly at the cutting zone without clamps, brackets or zip ties.
What's in the 2-1/2" range
The 15 products in this collection cover the complete 2-1/2" vacuum system — flexible hose segments, vacuum nozzles in different inlet profiles for swarf vs dust capture, adapters to connect to standard shop-vac hose ends, threaded mounts to secure the line to the machine, and ball joints for fine positioning.
Need coolant delivery instead?
For coolant and air delivery rather than vacuum extraction, see the coolant-rated systems: 1/4" for compact machines, 1/2" for most CNC work, or 3/4" for high-flow applications.

Q: What's the difference between the Loc-Line coolant systems and the 2-1/2" vacuum system?
The coolant systems (1/4", 1/2", 3/4") deliver flood coolant to a cutting tool, while the 2-1/2" system is built for vacuum extraction of swarf, chips and dust — a completely different function using the same snap-together modular hose mechanism.
Q: Why is 2-1/2" specifically the bore size chosen for the Loc-Line vacuum system?
It matches standard shop-vacuum hose sizes and provides enough cross-section for chip and dust flow without choking the line — a bore matched to what a typical shop vac can already handle at the other end.
Q: Do Loc-Line vacuum hose segments hold their position under suction the same way the coolant segments hold under flow?
Yes — like the smaller coolant-rated Loc-Line systems, the vacuum hose segments snap together by hand and hold position under vacuum draw, letting the inlet be mounted exactly at the cutting zone without clamps, brackets or zip ties.
Q: What's the difference between the swarf-capture and dust-capture nozzles in the 2-1/2" vacuum range?
The range stocks vacuum nozzles in different inlet profiles for the two jobs — one shaped for capturing swarf and chip material, the other for finer dust capture — so the nozzle can be matched to the type of waste being extracted rather than using one generic inlet shape for both.
Q: What lets you position a 2-1/2" Loc-Line vacuum inlet exactly where it's needed on a machine?
Threaded mounts secure the line to the machine and ball joints allow fine positioning of the inlet, alongside adapters that connect the assembly to standard shop-vac hose ends for extraction to a vacuum source.
