Good morning, I'm in the process of making a router table from a second 510 table.
My plan is to mill out the table to be able to add a 1/4" plate insert that attaches to my router and can be inserted into the table. I've moved the 510 table legs over to the left (removing the 4 bolts and only attaching 2) making enough room to insert the router and plan to bolt an extension table with legs to the table allowing me to use 4 legs (2 on the main table and 2 on the extension table) for stability.
My plan is to be able to use SS fences and accessories with a router mounted under a SS table. I've got everything layed out and so far everything looks good
BTW I will post pictures when it is done. I know how we love pictures.
My question is does anyone have any ideas if SS makes a vacuum attachment for the shaper fence? I'm looking to replace the red chip guard between the adjustment knobs on the back of the fence with one that has a vacuum port on the back of it. Something like the one that Rockler has on their router tables.
Any ideas?
Thanks.... Steve
Shaper fence Vac attachment?

I'm fairly sure that the shaper dust collection is through the insert, not the fence. At least that is how I do it and it works just fine. Check this link:

Assuming you are shaping from above the table, and you are using the table insert with a round hole rather than a slot, anmius is right on! Using this part, the dust collection is below the table and is quite effective.
I leave my dust collection vac attachment fixed to the table insert always. There is no need to remove it.

Hi Steve,
I think at the simplest level you could fabricate this by attaching a hose to the shaper fence

With my M7 I received two router shaper shields, one mounts on the quill however the other has a stem that mounts on the table using the sliding t nuts (#17 right side). That second one might be acceptable for your use if you can find one. I briefly looked on the SS site but could not find a listing or part number. If you check out a picture of the standard accessories you can see both shields.

Looking forward to seeing the next iteration of the router table!
Be well,
Ben

My plan is to have the router mounted under the table so the dust collector montioned won't work this way.

Thanks for the idea Ben. I do have one of the (#17 right). I'll have to look at doctoring something and fabricating some sort of holder. It looks like that may work. Thanks for the idea.benush26 wrote:Hi Steve,
