Dust foot...my twist!
My take on a small dust foot.
Lacking a better (and cheaper) material I settled on MDF in as much as I have at least a hundred pounds of it stacked against the wall and in my way.
I simplu carved two identical "boats" from the MDF and put an appropriate sized hole in one end of one of them to accept a short piece of 1" PVC pipe. I turned a shoulder on the pipe for a stop as it interred the boat. All three pieced were glued together with Wilhold glue.
Photo four shows a hole in the top positioned so as to accept the bearing boss on the router while diverting the ventilation draft from the router motor. There is a matching hole in the bottom to allow air to flow in around the cutting bit.
Carriage bolts provide vertical adjustment and hold the vacuum tube (1" sch 40 PVC) in position with the tapped holes in the PVC wall.
The foot pops right off to facilitate bit change and zero set and then simply slips back on.
A short skirt of some sort will possibly prevent some of the few escapees that I've seen.
.........and there is my claim to fame!!
