Router table dust collection.

The dust all over the router is what I have cleared up, at this point I am not getting the dust on or in the router like I was with my old Bosch table.
I cut extra holes in the table insert to suck the dust in. With a DC, as opposed to a vacuum, you have to have a lot of openings to avoid choking it, but that is okay, and they pick up the dust.
I then have the DC connected to the side of the the router box. A little dust swirls around right on the bottom of the box, but the rest is pretty spotless.
The only thing I do unusual is having the hole under the fence rather than above the fence; a DC port on the router box is pretty routine; or so I think it is.
