Easy install and fits well. I'm using on my DeWalt router that I have mounted in a DIY router table. I made the table so that this could be used to reduce dust. It works attached to one of my shop vacs. Well worth the price.

This is a must for any router, fits the Dewalt good. I'm suprised they made it as an accessory, it's a pretty complicated design. It's not perfect dust collection of course but it does what any router dust collection should. The two bolts vibrate loose easily so I put blue thread locker on to tighten them up. That should have been on them from the start.

Minor improvement on dust collection, not worth the money or the time to put it on and off

I recently picked up the Dewalt compact router and thought I'd try some dust collection on it. Wish they included it with the router, but that seems to be the norm with all tool companies.It's a pretty heavy duty piece of plastic. Attaches easily and perfectly. Fit was not a problem. I was also able to use one of the connectors I have for my Centec hose and it fits nice and snug. Stays put.As far as how it works... I have to wonder if people are expecting this to do something it can't do, something it was not designed to do. This will NOT work for anything under the router that is out in the open. Like a flush trim bit, it's just not made to catch that dust. It doesn't work for that because all the dust and chips are going out underneath, away from the port. Same for like a edge treatment bit. There are other dust collection devices for that kind of work.But, it does work for say carving out a tray. I posted a picture using a straight bit inside the work. You do need to kind of move it around to get everything, but it sucked all the dust out, nothing was left. So it works for that type of application. It's kind of a limited to what it can do. But it most certainly works.What I don't like about it, is the design. I don't understand why Dewalt is designing all their dust collection to go "up". Does not make sense. For one, it puts your host more in your way. Unless you hang your hose? Worst, you will be putting so much stress on the part every time you put on your hose. Stress on the elbow of the part, and I can see it breaking over time.Overall, it does work, if you don't expect it to do something it can not do, the price is not bad and my hose adapter fits. Even though it's not perfect, I am happy I have it.

This has been great. With it attached to a shopvac dust collection, I get pretty good dust collection. If I am routing something in the middle of the board - basically no dust. Putting a round over, there's lots of dust/shavings not picked up.My favorite feature and the reason I bought it, is that it covers the only opening to the spinning bit. I felt like my fingers kept trying to go in the opening.Negatives: wasn't included with router and is a bit wobbly even tightened as much as I could. And those screws are long.

It's made for the job and it does the job . Fits perfectly and does catch most of the debris.Reccomend.

Definitely worth the money! I used this while routing some foam inlays to shadow my tool boxes and it worked well. There was little to no debris outside of the routed grooves in the foam and even they were pretty clean.I suspect it would work well with wood too but the clear cover would get coated with dust and partially block the view. The cover already can be difficult to see past and a coating of dust wouldn't help.It installs easily and is secure and fairly sturdy although I wouldn't attach the hose without supporting it with your other hand while pressing the hose on. I used a Festool dust collector with it and had to have an adapter to attach the hose.I used a Festool router with the dust collection hooked up and it didn't work as well as this did but... I was using the Festool to run a 3/4" dado in plywood and the Dewalt to rout out the shape of my tools in foam.I would recommend this and buy it again.

When I bought my DeWalt DWP611PK router (which I love), I didn't order any of the accessories for it.But, after such positive experiences with the router itself, I decided to give the accessories a shot as well.DeWalt offers four accessories for the DWP611PK ... edge guides for both the fixed base and plunge base, as well as dust collection adapters for both.I haven't had enough opportunity to use the edge guides (DNP618 for the fixed base, DW6913 for the plunge base) to give them a fair review, but I have had enough use of the dust collection accessories to comment on them.I have never been very impressed with dust collection accessories for hand-held routers ... dust collection attachments for my other routers were clumsy to use, obstructed the view of the work surface, required tools to attach/detach, and generally resulted in quite a bit of dust and debris in the air and around the work area.By contract, these both do a superb job. They are easy to attach/detach (using easy to manage thumb screws), take standard 1.25" hoses, and are clear plastic so they don't obstruct your view. And they do a terrific job of removing debris from the surface you are routing without cluttering the work area.I did a bunch of template routing last week (routing tracks for tambours on some cabinets I am building for holiday gifts) with the plunge base. The DNP616 fully encloses the area around the bit inside the plunge base, and despite plowing through a bunch of hard maple, no dust made it to the bench and the work surface remained clear.I had a similar experience with the DNP615 in the fixed base routing rabbets inside a door frame. The dust collection attachment essentially turns the router base into a closed chamber so there is virtually no place for dust to escape.Gord Graff did an excellent review of the DeWalt DWP611PK (see: [...] )... suggest you check out Gord's review for more info on the router itself.
