Overview
Simple & Effective Dust Control for Portable Routers!
f there's any tool in need of effective dust collection, it's your router. Chips are flying, dust is piling up, and you can barely see through the cloud … Finally, there's a solution that works for nearly any portable router!
Easy to install and built to last with industrial-grade plastics, our Dust-Free Router Hood® guarantees a safer, healthier, and more productive routing experience.
Features:
- Lets you clean while you work, containing waste safely within your wet/dry vacuum*
- Eliminates downtime for cleanup and helps maintain a safe, healthy, and productive worksite
- Universal design fits most portable fixed-base or plunge routers (see compatibility chart tab)
- Facilitates fine detail work by keeping the routing path clear of debris
- Lessens wear and tear on expensive router bits by reducing material buildup
- 1.5" O.D. swiveling hose connection includes quick-release "seat-belt style" lock
- Includes two different sized chip covers for outer edges and shallow inset edges
- Lower chip cover can easily be removed for inner plunge routing - no tools necessary
- Injection-molded from crystal clear polycarbonate, the same material used to make bulletproof “glass”, motorcycle helmets, and jet fighter canopies. Incredibly tough and extremely durable
*Compatible with wet/dry vacuums only - not for use with low-pressure wood dust collectors.
Note: Incompatible with router sleds.
