BOSCH RA1177AT Three-Piece Dust Extraction Hood Kit for Mr23-Series: Efficient Dust Control Solutions for Ultimate Precision Review

Unless I have overlooked something, the picture and description do not show the complete set. They are actually three different dust removers in one package.

Also included is an adapter to connect the suction tube to a 1 1/4 and 1/1/2 inch hose. I needed a plunge base router and the cap fits perfectly.

I haven't decided which table to take, so I was left with my hand. I have a Bosch MRC23EVSK which is a very good router, albeit a heavy one. I bought this dust removal kit to fill that gap. $25 price from Amazon which I think is fair. I wanted to test how good this dust remover is, so I ran some simple tests. I tried three pieces of kit for a solid base, for…
