EDGEFORMING DUST
EXTRACTION
This dust extraction hood is used for dust
collection when edge-forming
You can attach the edge-forming hood in
several places according to your needs or
preferences. This hood is attached using two
of the screw holes on the router base that are
used to attach the router’s sub-base. (See
Figures 6-10.) Choose the desired location
for the hood. Loosen and take out the two
screws from the router base and attach the
dust extraction hood — over the router’s sub-
base — using the screws provided with the
hood. Securely tighten the screws.
USING THE DUST
EXTRACTION HOOD
When edge forming, always use piloted or
bearing bits. When routing a workpiece that
requires edge forming on the endgrain, always
route the endgrain edges before routing edges
that follow the grain. This minimizes the
possibility of damage from any blowout at the
end of the endgrain. Always move the router
from left to right.
VACUUM HOSE CONNECTION
The dust extraction hoods are sized to accept
35mm vacuum hoses. Also included is the
VAC002 adapter that will connect the hood to
1-1/4’’ and 1-1/2’’ vacuum hoses.
An adapter to connect the hood to 2-1/2" hoses
is also available (VAC020).
