Dust-Free Routing
Routing can make quite the mess. Of course, a little dust in the shop is no big deal, but at the router table all that sawdust can certainly get in the way. That’s why I created this dust chute, which is easy to make and attach to any table.
The chute is made from just a couple pieces of plywood and hardboard glued together. The holes in the top and the dust port dictate the air flow. To attach it to your router table, all you need to do is drill a hole in the table top to match the one in the top of the dust chute, then glue the chute on underneath. With the hose attached, the sawdust and chips get sucked clear as you rout.
