Dust Kit specs
Setup notes and briefing numbers for Dust Kit.
Dust extraction components and fitment
The Dust Kit specs page lists the extraction components and fitment details for the machine. Use it to review what is included for dust control before finalising the router setup.
Check what comes with the Dust Kit on a router setup. The extraction parts, hose routing, and mounting points matter before the machine is positioned in the workshop. In Somerset West and the wider Cape, fine MDF dust and damp winter air both affect how often filters and lines need inspection.
Review the fitment details against the actual machine before power-up. A quick check of hose clamps, skirt clearance, and collection drum connection helps prevent loss of suction during cutting. That is especially useful on nested board jobs where chips build up fast around the cutter.
What to verify before installation
Check that the extraction inlet matches the machine connection and that the hose run is not sharply bent. Longer ducting can reduce airflow, so the route from router to extractor should be kept direct where possible. Also confirm there is enough access for emptying and cleaning without moving the machine each time.
Use these specs together with the machine record when comparing router options or planning a new bay layout. If anything on the listed extraction hardware differs from the machine in your workshop, send the spindle and dust outlet sizes through the contact form. Include the model path if you are checking more than one router or cell.

Cape workshop dust control points
MDF, plywood, and chipboard all load an extraction system differently during routing. Fine board dust can pack into filters quickly, while larger chips from aggressive roughing passes need steady airflow to clear the bed. If the machine is part of an active production line, note any existing ducting or shared extraction before final fitment is decided.
Coastal conditions around Somerset West can leave residue and moisture in lines if maintenance is skipped. Inland sites often deal with drier dust that spreads further around rails, cable tracks, and control cabinets. After load-shedding or an unscheduled stop, inspect the collection point and hose connections before restarting a long sheet job.

Machine details to send through
Have the router model, table size, and current extraction arrangement ready when checking Dust Kit specs. Photos of the spindle area, hose connection, and extractor position make fitment questions easier to sort out.
Keep a copy of the listed components with the setup file for the machine. When a workshop compares delivered hardware against the page, it is easier to see whether the dust shoe, hose, clamps, and connection pieces match the planned router configuration.
