Router Table Dust Hood
Router Table Dust Hood: When using my router table, a hose from my dust collection system attached to my router table fence has always done a great job keeping the dust at bay in my shop. However, when my fence is removed for free-hand routing, I didn’t have an adequate way to capture all of the dust and chips. To solve that problem, I built the router table dust hood you see here.

However, I can only plane up to that width, and it is unsafe to do anything end grain (in my personal opinion), so I have, for a long time, wanted to build my own jig. I chose to use MDF wood knowing that it was already very smooth, very easy to cut and rip into the right dimensions, and is quite cheap.
