    Default NASCAR Bot

    For those that don't use a air deflector shield on you PC router. You might try a Mega Block Dale Earnhardt Jr. version.

    Visit your favorite toy store and pickup a model as shown and with a few modifications, you will not be "blowing so much dust" around all the time...


    You will then ask yourself WHY the HECK it has taken you a few years to make this modification. I first tried the double sided tape to hold it on the router but then changed to the lightweight chain version.

    Default Seems that I have seen one of those before...

    So you just let it drag around behind the router?

    yeah it just scoops the dust up...
    that was the first thing i thought too when i looked at the pic.
    the wheel is just laid there for illustration. Look at the bottom of the router and you'll see what looks like the other half of the tire mounted on the underside of the router

    I have never heard of this air deflector. Is this something ShopBot sells?

    I want one.

    Thanks,

    Bob

    Default as before...

    As before,

    The item comes from a stop at a TOY STORE. Add hole and 3 chains as required. One loop of chain above the bracket is not visible...

    Brady, I tried to clean up the machine for the picture...
