Back in Sept. I finished building my router cabinet and did the dust collection a little different then most I had seen.
This is the post.

So now it is close to 3 months and today I took the front off the table to see how it was doing. This is not a production setup, just my hobby so I don't do routing every day. I have had to dump the vac 3 times and I would say I have done a good bit of routing in the last almost 3 months.
This is what I found, there are a lot of large chips in the bottom and there is some small dust, I had hoped there would be none but there is. I pulled the router out of the mount, which is the first time I have done so after I put it in there in Sept.
The images show how much dust has gone though the router and the chips on the floor of the cabinet.
From what I have seen I would say it is a real success and works very well. There is a little dust that has gone into the router but NOTHING like it was doing in the past with a normal type DC in the cabinet. You can see that the insides of the router are still really clean.
