I previously had my Bosch 1617 applied to my TS mounted router table and connected my DC to the RT fence and a ShopVac to the router below the table using the Bosch fixed base dust collection shroud.

I'm looking to add some sort of under the table DC to my M12V router similar to the Bosch. Hitachi make a DC adapter for the M12V but this is the best picture I could find:

I need to know how tis attaches to the M12v to see if it will work/fit with the orientation of my router (top is front):

Does anyone have this attachment?

Thanks,

My Fien RT-1800 router has something similar... It does a really good job of collecting dust, but I found that the shroud would bump into the body of the router when you plunged all the way down. That and sometimes I could not use it for larger bits.

Just something you may want to think about... some people just build a DC box around the router with a door at the front and connect it to a 4" hose to the collector.

I just have DC from the top side hooked up to my vac from the fence.
