I would also add in the risk of open dust ports sucking your hand toward a cutter on any rigged up dust collection. My router table is serviced by a 6" port and can really suck stuff into the opening, including my hand toward the cutter, if I was stupid and had my hand near enough to it when the cutter was moving.

Hahehha,
This brings up one of the stooopider things I've done.
I smoke like a chimley. (SIC redneck clarity)
I set my lit cig down on the shaper table, tooling wasn't spinning,
but the dust collection was on.
Needless to say I couldn't find it.....for awhile.
