PC router VacGrip?

[Anthony Scott]

Anyone out there using the Porter Cable VacGrip handle on their router? How well does it work for dust collection?
Thanks

I have one that came with the set. I found that the hose got in my way a lot. It now lives on the bottom of my router table and does an excellent job of keeping the fine stuff picked up.

It works really well for dados and such where there's material on both sides of the bit. It helps but doesn't work as well on edge work. I use it with a Fein vac which has a smaller flexible hose. The typical ShopVac/Ridgid hose would not work at ALL. You need a lightweight flexible vac hose for it to be usable.
