comp56 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 so if ya haven't heard or read about it...... I do a lot of routing, I do some free hand and some with bench.... I have come up with a set up to give me routing at around 90% dust free....function or fashion here so you might see some stuff that is still in a beta stage if you will.... as you can see I have the fence plumbed to extract the main dust collection and I also added a secondary hose for bottom pick up that works well to remove falling debris.....I also add a video to show it in action.... NOTE: the video shows just scrap pieces also please be kind this is my first attempt at any kind of tool video... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madman_us Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 i like this router table / fence.you can definitely make the hole smaller in the table when you run a smaller dust collector ( a shop vac or dust extractor ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 thanks guys I'm going to be capping the front of fence with different thickness acrylic for infeed and outfeed so it can be adjustable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm a big fan of dust collection, above and below table is crucial with router tables... looks like you did a great job!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan m Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I have the incra fence on mine connected to my festool ct22 vac with a short 50mm hose.suction and dc are amazing but there is always a small bit that finds its way down. I discovered this one day I was outing loads of pine . I was creating a special moulded piece for the top of some wainscoting . several hours into routing I look under the table to see a huge pile of chips and dust. I was shocked . luckily I didn't cook the router it was up to the bottom of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan m Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 the dc was only above the table. everything looked great from above. there was just a small bit falling all the time. with the voluum I ran It just added up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 at first I was in the same boat, everything looked good on top but box below was collecting so it all changed when I added the second line to bottom.....now I'm happy with probably 95%+ collection...... is it fancy looking, far from it but it works.....
