Patented Router Guard .

[JoeyInCali]

Saw three e pieces of 1/2 plexiglass.
Epoxy 'em and then put one screw through each plate.
Third piece gets hole-sawed to make room for turning wood.
Card board covers the router from blowing air in that area ( somewhat ).
There's a gap between that custom made cardboard so the router can still fart hot air.:grin:
5-inch tube/spacers hold the fromt and top.

If you have a better idea, let's hear it.

It's not patented of course.
Be safe.

Did you buy that from Cue Components?

I like your antistatic tubing. Looks good Joey.

two pieces of corian, two pieces if 3/8 lexan, and 2 pieces of shop floor mat material with 2 mini bungee cords.
Also a hose attachment bolted onto the back with a 2-1/8 hole thru the corian. Holes cut for the wood and extra space covered with gaff tape, which now I have 2 paintbrush bristle assemblies covering the hole. Works better. The suction of the dustcollector pulls so much air, it actually pulls it thru the router body from the top air vents....always cool, and no dust.

Good one Dave.
I've never thought of using Corian. There's a ton at the local scrap yard.

I put this together a couple of weeks ago - it's certainly not as hefty as Joey's or Dave's, but it does a surprisingly good job of capturing chips and dust. I get a little bit blown out through the front. Blue Painter's Tape is GREAT for prototyping!!

First design work great for lathe turning.
The coring design works ok for coring but needs to be redesigned for 100% result. However- I drilled a hole on the side for my router an it did a ok job.
I need to add some brush design to seal the gap between the wood and the circle opening.

I did a smiliar design 4-5 years ago as Joey and it did not work for me...

My current CNC setup uses the setup on the second pic here

The brushes keeps a lot away but even with this there is some dust. I think the tighter fit arround the cutting device is better where the air get more grip.
If not a similar closed setup as Greg posted in the first link above-but then it's a little more work to use it...

Be safe-keep the dust away... It's better for our lungs and better for our machines.
