I have been testing a 1 1/4'' inch surfacing bit coupled with the dust collector for this router. I'm planning to make and end grain cuttin board.
The dust collector is as worthless as tits on a tom cat.
I have it hooked up to a shop vac. The filter is clean and the vac newly emptied.
I see little difference in the amount of wood particles needing cleaning up if I do not use it.
This is the collector made specifically for this router,
