Gentlemen, (you too, -MIKE-) May I call upon your vast woodworking experience and knowledge? Is there any such thing as effective dust collection for a router? I have 3 Craftsman, 3 Hitachi, 3 Milwaukee, 2 Bosch and 2 DeWalt routers. Of those, 9 are plunge routers. I have purchased the dust collection devices for those for which such devices were/are available. If I'm doing a "closed" operation (such as the groove for installing shelf brackets/standards/strips, I have no problem collecting the sawdust but any other operation results in clouds of dust. (I may exaggerate just a bit but...) I have the big Milwaukee, and 2 Hitachi M12Vs dedicated to router table use and the collection isn't too bad. But whenever I do a dado, etc...bad news. So...is there any solution?
