Instructions:
I removed the black plastic plate from the router base that’s held on by 3 Philips head machine screws (they were pretty tight) and marked the two holes on the print so I could drill clearance holes for the m5 and m6 bolt.
One hole is already threaded to M5x .80, and one is not. I tapped the larger un-threaded hole to M6x 1, but I’m sure it would be fine with just one M5x .80 bolt. I ran some hot glue around the edge just for extra strength and to seal any gaps, but you also probably don’t need to do that.
I used one M6x 1.0x 12mm and one M5x 0.80x 10mm bolt with two washers each just because the bolts were a little long. You will probably be better off with an 8mm length for both bolts but that’s all I could find in the moment. Just make sure that the bolt isn’t too long that it gets in the way of the bottom black plate.
It works better than I expected. Zero mess for plunge-style cavity routes but still a tiny bit of chips for edge routing.
I might make a second version where the hose comes out vertically so it is more out of the way but I haven’t had any problems yet. Let me know if that would be better for you and I’ll throw it together.
