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?

Thanks


In my opinion it's is probably more a mater of convention. Rear connection
is
easier to access and less prone to falling off. Also, with a router
table/cabinet a bottom connection would eat up a chunk of drawer storage.

That's exactly the main reason I wouldn't want to go bottom. I originally
had an idea to use it for space whether a drawer or just an open cavity for
another router or accessories. But if it provided a better dust removing
ability, I would sacrifice the extra storage.
