   I have a good router table that my shop vac fits into on the back. The problem is that a lot of the saw dust comes down below the table during routing. How can I catch that "below the table" saw dust? Dr. Bob Gordon [email protected]

   It's hard for me to fully understand what's going on in these photographs, particularly the router with the ball hitch. Most of the others are a bit mysterious as well.

   Dr Bob,

   Incra tools sells a under mount dust collection box that is equiped
   with a 4 inch dust port. I have installed two in my shop attached to a dust collection system. That along with the top mounted will leave you with very little dust. Inexpensive and easy to install as well. Try it I think you will agree. You can reduce the hose size with a simple reducer is you are using a shop vac.

   For the Doctor: My Rigid came with a dust port adapter that fit in the open area between the base and the motor- the area where we all watch to see what is happening when we use it as a hand held. If you can't block this area off, you will get dust in the cabinet, and eventually into the motor itself

   Hi, Dr. Bob--
   You can build a compartment under the table, with a hole for a vac hose. Number of ways to do this, depending on the design of your router table.

   This was a very helpful read. Thanks everyone for pitching in a solution. I'd like to read more about scroll saw blades I got from D&D Woodcrafts and its uses.
