    It comes with a cover with a 4" port that goes over the chip chute. It isn't too bad. I used a little foam to tighten up the mating surfaces and it's pretty good.

    I am a tool freak , and never have considered, and probably never would consider a router lift.
    I mostly use my jointer for edge jointing and a jet 6 inch is just fine. Much better than my benchtop delta that was just given away.
    I also am happy with my 14 inch jet bandsaw. Don't have the ceiling height for anything bigger in my basement.

    Check out the Rikon Band Saw. great quality and a reasonable price.(around 450.00) I've got one and I think it's built better than the bigger names at 1/2 the price.

    What about the Triton router? They do not need a lift and come with accesseriers. I am looking at getting there 2 1/4 hp one when I can free up some cash. I have heard plenty of good things about it.
