Default Router Table DC hose placement

SBH wrote:
I'm midway to finishing my router table and I'm contemplating the
placement of the Dust Collection connector hose. I've noticed most
tables have the hose attached to the rear of the table (behind the
router) but saw a limited few which had the attachment on the bottom
(under the router), thus, making me wonder if one has the advantage over
the other. Part of my thought leans towards the bottom placement due to
the gravity effect. The other part thinks it may not make a difference
with a powerful DC system. Therefore, what's the consensus amongst the
group?


Never seen any that collected all that much; you'll need the hood in the
lateral location to keep chips from going off horizontally.
