Makita 195559-1 Dust Extracting Attachment, Routers

Purchased this specific since there was 1 review that stated it fits a bauer router. And so it did per the description they gave of doing some slight trimming.You can see in the pictures I added what I tried to make ot fit. The screw hole lines uo and accepts a m3 screw.Now I won't have dust flying everywhere while using my router.Hope these pictures help someone out with the bauer compact router !!!!

Helps with the dust from may router!

This attachment along with a good shopvac is a must have. Virtually no cuttings left on the workpiece when this is on. I'd give it a full five stars but the installation required a long thumb screw (which I actually shortened) which has to be taken off every time you change the cutting bit.

This dust collector for my Makita Compact Router worked perfectly for my limited use. I the router to put grooves in my shelving boards so my shelves would be secure. I counter sank them 5 mm in 17mm wide glued edge pine. The dust collection was a game changer!

Routing MDF at work. Needed help keeping dust down. Works great. Would definitely recommend. Fit good on my cordless makita router

I usually route on a router table with an exhaust port and was amazed at the fine dust and chips that covered my work area when I first used my router free hand. What a mess! This accessory is much needed and should probably be included in the initial router package but I am glad that I found one so easily. It works great and is easy to install although dragging the typical shop vac hose around is a pain in the neck. Someone really needs to manufacture a genuine FLEXIBLE shop vac hose that is lightweight.

So far this has worked very well, over the space of 4-5 projects now. I can get it to work with my Festool (new style) vacuum hose, and it works out pretty well but it isn't ideal. The plastic seems stronger than I expected, as I've dropped the router a few times with no issues or cracks. You still always have some shavings/dust that isn't caught, but this does a good job of making it not such a massive mess, and just a little one.

It very hard to get it installed. Not much thought when into the devices design. Seem like Makita does any dust collection parts as an afterthought. Once you get it installed it works great, not particularly ergometric, a little clunky with the huge tube which connects it to the vacuum hose. I'm using it to route drywall openings, and it gets every drop of dust-it's just not that easy, which is partly the problem with the crappy vacuum hoses that come with even the nicer vacuums.
