4.0 out of 5 stars Does a decent job, October 13, 2005

By	J. Davis (Seattle WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have this dust hood. It does a good job keeping the dust out of the air when doing cuts off the edge of the piece. Don't let the shop-vac issue bother you. An adapter can be found at woodcraft or rockler for less than five bucks, and not breathing harmful dust is certainly work that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helps with dust collection, but limits view of work, January 18, 2008

I bought this set, along with other for my tools to cut down on dust in the shop after a lung infection. It does help with the dust, but the view of my work piece is limited too much for my liking.

The adapter for the fixed base is useless if you using a straight edge to guide the router.

The adapters are plentiful for 2.5" shop-vacs, check out Home Depot. Mine is connected to my central dust collector.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works as well as it can, December 18, 2007

The price is too high for this item, but basically you're paying for Bosch advertising there. The product does do a decent job of capturing dust, but enough still escapes that prevents me from giving this a 5 star. If you are not able to find anything else, this set does do a decent job and is WAY better than using no dust extraction.
