I used my new router home-built table tonight for the first time, and can report the DC aspects are everything I hoped for. When I was finished with the project I checked inside...not a speck of sawdust to be found, even in the corners. It will be easier to describe when I figure out how to post pics...and I'll do that soon (a promise to the POLICE). The top has a dust intake within the fence, and there is a "channel" designed to bring air through the front to "sweep" the bottom of the router compartment.
I had fun playing with making a piece of "furniture" out of the table, and learned some things about rescuing a poly finish as a result of some serious mistakes early on. I added lots of drawers for bits and associated tools, and made it mobile on two wheels (sort of like a wheelbarrow). I didn't "hinge" the doors, but made the "fronts" entirely removable by fixing magnets in the doors. I installed a Woodpeckers lift and a Hitachi M12V.
Pics coming, REALLY. I don't do photography and ask SWMBO to assist with that occasionally. I'll work with getting the pics taken and properly sized for the forum.
