I have a PC 7518 motor in a Woodpeckers Precision Router Lift (the older one not the V2). When I bought the set up, I purchased the Woodpeckers router table with the dust collection housing. The dust collection housing has not seemed to work all that well (and with the connection pointing down it is hard to connect). I have come to not expect much from router table dust collection, but my concern is whether the housing restricts airflow enough to affect cooling of the motor. The only intake is the space between the ring and the bit. I noticed things being a bit warm after running about 25 ft of 3/8 roundover for my father (slats for a wooden swing). I am wondering if I should remove the housing. I notice it is not on the woodpeckers page anymore.
