Having had the gantry system for a while I've enjoyed how great it works. The one issue was the amount of dust all over the place, including back in my face. Adding the dust collection shroud seemed a no brainer. It does keep the dust down in the shop and it stops the dust from coming back in my face. However, I mostly work with thinner pieces of material (1 or 2 feet wide by up to 8 feet long) the shroud itself has a wide footprint, most of the time one end or the other is not over the material and most of the larger dust shoots out any opening left available. Overall, the recovery of material is low, probably under 20%, but it does keep the smaller particles from traveling all over the shop and deflects most material down and away. Also as mentioned by others, you lose a few inches of travel on either end.

Hi David!

If the brushes are not in contact with a surface of some type there’s virtually no way to control the dust, so I’m not surprised that it doesn’t collect well on narrow boards. It’s effectively trying to pull a vacuum in a completely open environment.

When running narrow stock that doesn’t allow for a good seal between the material and shroud brushes you can place a thin sheet of plywood or similar material under the stock being planed so that the brushes aren’t hanging out over open air to allow a proper vacuum to form. With a decent seal you should be getting 90%+ collection with a dust collector pulling at least 800CFM. A shopvac or small collector won’t move enough volume.

We also have 3 inch long strip brushes available if the standard 2 inch brushes aren’t long enough.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, it’s greatly appreciated!

Router sled dust collection

First u

Just getting around to using the router gantry system.
I have a piece of pecan that I’m flattening for a table top.
I like how it works but I’m not getting cuts without lines showing. Is this normal or do you have any suggestions?
I don’t know my dust collector attached because I’m waiting on a couple of 45 degree connectors for the dust shroud rather than the straight ones that were included.
Thanks,
Bill Hunt

  • For RGS units purchased after April 1st 2023, we predrill the RGS base plate to accept the dust shrouds.

  • Prior to that date, you'll have to use the polycarbonate plates as a drilling guide to attach to the RGS base plate with the provided hardware.
