I wanted to add a router to my table saw wing and I built a router fence off of the table saw fence 

since ive been setting up the new shop ive been conscious of dust collection so designed this with collection from above and below.

when using roundover bits or bits similar ive noticed collection from above works best but if im grooving or rabbeting below is needed so this is what I came up with ,it seems to work good ..

i made removeable center fence parts I  can shape or sacrifice that are dovetailed into the fence I'm not quite sure if the tube underneath is the right way up but the removeable cap will help to let out any dust that doesn't make it to the shop vac .....I'm not worried about the routers overheating as the vac should pull  enough cool air thru between passes ...eventually I'll add a "y" in the hose and connect both at the same time ,thanks for watching

thank you for watching My videos are for entertainment only. Woodworking can be dangerous. The methods I use are my methods, and are not necessarily correct or safe! If in doubt, DON'T DO IT, it is best to learn more before you start. And always remember to read, understand and follow, all the manufacturers instructions that come with your tools. Always wear all necessary protection equipment, the safety in your workshop is your responsibility,
Be safe and have fun,happy making
