Eric B Craftsman router combo (#26501) dust control question
February 18th, 2006 08:44 AM
Greetings:

I have the following router/table combo:

Sears item #00926501000 Mfr. model #26501

After using it for a year, I was thinking about cutting out some 1/2" plywood to cover the front and back. This would enclose the gaps where LOTS of dust ends up flying at me and the wall.

Although I use a shop vac in the dust port, since its up near the fence, it misses alot of the dust.

As long as the enclosure is secure and doesn't cover the control switch--and has holes for the cords, this shouldn't cause any mechanical or safety problems would it?

I don't see why it would cause a safety problem there would still be plenty of room for the router to "breathe". The wood on the legs would just make more structurely sound I think.
