I have finally found a way to contain my g10 dust in my shop and on my table - I designed a diverter for my PC router so the air vents out the top vrs blowing down on the sheet - then printed on my 3d printer - I also made a new dust skirt out of some large heat shrink I had lying around. Results is no dust on the table - computer or work surface anymore - The dust shoe is hooked to my 1 hp RIKON dust collector - Seems to be my holy grail for dust collection since I only cut sheet material - Ans that g10 is nasty stuff -  Mike |

Great idea! I'm just putting the finishing touches on my new dust foot. Looks like yours will get the job done. Do you have it plugged into the WD-1 so it turns on with the router?

Mike,
I worked around that and took the router and my vacuum off of my WD-1. I ran a plug from the router-outlet on the WD-1 to a relay that opens a separate 20-amp duplex outlet that is opened when the router is called for. That way there is minimal power draw from the WD-1... the relay opens with less than 3-amps. Because the router and vac are not powered by the WD-1 I was able to put the CNC and the computer that runs it on an APC (I used APC XS-1500, less than $200) that protects from surges and controls power drops. I was having problems when my shop central air kicked in... the CNC would sometimes lose it's place on whatever axis was running at the time. I haven't had a problem since I installed the APC.

I just bought some mold making material - I am going to make a few of these - Anyone interested? The new ones will be 2 pieces making tool changes even easier - Works great and really cut down on the dust in my shop that was blowing around. Made for Porter Cable 892 router

Mike-
Diverting the air upward is a great idea. Have you noticed any increase in the router temp?
I am interested in your diverter, but am currently running a PC 690 - not sure what the difference is. Let me know if you think it will work.

I have noticed no difference in router temperature - I am not sure if the PC 690 is the same size or not - What is the diameter of the router?

Ron sells the same double mounting bracket for both the 690 and 892, so I think it will be the same. The diameter of mine is 3 1/2".

Looks good. What is the process of changing bits like? How does it attach to the dustshoe? Can it be removed?
