My friend keeps bees, they hated his big fat lumbering black lab. He said it's their bear instinct. Do you look like a bear?
More like a Sasquatch
I got bees too

Unless you have a good shop fitted with a vac system and your router is bolted to a table, router spew is going to be a problem. I'm only able to use mine outside in the summer. Many moons ago when I lived in another house, I had an unfinished room in the basement and I could make all the dust I wanted in there. That's probably 25 years ago.
Those vacs are nice if your running a small router and there is absolutely nothin else on the circuit.Otherwise it pulls too much current for a typical 20amp 120v circuit.
One would be nice for my R/O sander though.I think I can manage to flip the switch myself.For the price of one of those vacs you can get a small DC system goin
I have a decent dust collection unit, and recently bought a dust extraction hood for my bosche router, trying to move routing inside the shop for the winter.
Even with the custom hood and a 2" hose being the only thing connected to the DC, I would say only 70% of the dust gets collected. I've just continued to roundover cabs outside. I heard the Festool stuff is good, but $400 for a router is insane.
I don't think you will ever catch every bit of dust with a router.On certain cuts on the table I can catch almost all of it.on certain cuts like dados I catch almost none of it.

Oh you don't want to lift a 4x12 onto a router table and slide it around.I guess speaker cutouts would be a bitch too.
I don't get to worried about dust to much in my shop.When it gets knee deep I open the doors and use leaf blower to clean it out.
My shop is in the main house basement - too much dust and it gets to the furnace intake and I track it upstairs. Everything I own is covered in dust. I have it well controlled except that damn router and the jig saw
Hmm don't know about the jigsaw I 've rigged up a box around a circulaur saw before and attached a hose to it.Worked good.I was scoring concrete floors inside a finished house so you could Imagine the dust.You might be able to do the same to the Jigsaw.I don't know
