DIY | Improving my Router Table Dust collection with a jig that uses magnets.

[@Hateweek1984]

Genius! Shop jigs are the slice of life in woodworking..really great one

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Really enjoyed the video nick! Voiceover was hilarious 😂

[@KeyWoodworks]

😜 thanks for watching, sir!

[@cg2000cg1]

Good idea, simple but it works. Now that you have a bunch of new toys you should do a guitar themed project, like a piece of furniture with guitar shapes. Keep it up!

[@KeyWoodworks]

Thanks for watching! A guitar body stool might be on my short list of upcoming builds.

[@cg2000cg1]

@@KeyWoodworks Look forward to it.

Another idea here would be to slightly modify a PVC floor sweep. It would be much wider so you could mag switch it across the whole width of the lift. Bigger & closer to the cutting action you will collect way more dust.

[@KeyWoodworks]

That’s another great option!

Bit bearings are described with the bit installed in a standard router, not a table. A bottom bearing bit has the bit on the very end of the bit. A top bearing bit has the bearing between the shaft and the flutes of the bit. Flush trim bits have a bottom bearing. A pattern bit has a TOP bearing.

So THAT’s what I couldn’t remember! I thought it was determined by being in a table. Thanks for the correction Al!

[@AlAmantea]

@@KeyWoodworks no problem, my friend!

Great video

[@KeyWoodworks]

Thanks!

[@krisbabic89]

I can’t believe you don’t remember the difference after the fiasco you guys had building the shuffle board table 😂

[@KeyWoodworks]

That was ages ago! 🤣

[@ggjczs]

Is there any reason you could not make it wider?. Then it would not matter where the dust was thrown. Thanks for video.

[@KeyWoodworks]

There’s no reason it couldn’t be wider, if I make it again it’s for sure would be. Thanks for watching!

[@OakHillMillworks]

That’s rad. I haven’t seen that UV resin before.

[@KeyWoodworks]

it cures just about as quick as CA glue!

[@richardrodgers1883]

But it only works on a table that is made of a magnetic material, my table is melamine and the plate is aluminium so this won't work me. But it is a great idea for a table that magnets will hold on.

[@OakHillMillworks]

Mag port worth it??

[@KeyWoodworks]

for sure worth it!

[@carterscustomrods]

Lol @ 0:50 ... that's a bottom bearing bit, as it is at the bottom end of a router. We weirdos like to turn our routers upside because we're edgy.

[@carterscustomrods]

Orrrrr... you can: A- Buy an $8 dust collector attachment that sits on your table. B- Buy, or design, a sub-table dust collection system to pull your dust through the plate hole. (Or, if you got a bunch of holes in your router plate like I do, you can build a box that encases your router and put a hose attachment on the box, so it pulls all the dust downwards, and into the box, and out to your collector/vac. 😀 )

[@OakHillMillworks]

How ironic you needed to use the router table without dust collection to make your new set up for dust collection.

[@KeyWoodworks]

just like you need a flat surface to build a flat workbench

[@linachouinard9055]

The dust Dragon!

[@KeyWoodworks]

I like it!

[@stevefieldski3988]

it’s the dustportmagport-port. think you should trademark the name too

[@KeyWoodworks]

I'm for sure going to put that down as a contender.
