Re: Holding work down on Router

Thare are a few guys who do use shop vac's for the table, but they
are noisy and large.

The neat thing about starting with one, is that latter, when you move
up to a higher power vac pump, you still have the shop vac.

The real key is making the table so it does not leak. then a small
vac pump will work. all you need to do is figure out how to plug the
holes near where your thru holes will be.
