Oneida Air Systems Introduces the Universal Dust-Free Router Hood

Oneida Air Systems, an American manufacturer of dust collection systems for the woodworking industry, announced the introduction of its patent-pending Universal Dust-Free Router Hood. According to the company this router accessory captures nearly all of the dust, chips, and shavings generated by portable routers, enabling the user to have a virtually dust-free routing experience. unnamed (1)

The Universal Dust-Free Router Hood features both a universal base plate, as well as an upper dust dome and lower chip cover that combine to fully encapsulate the router bit. This enables superior dust capture at two different collection points, simultaneously, and ultimately helps to extend the useful life of the router bit. Molded from clear polycarbonate, the same material used in industrial safety glasses, the router hood offers both excellent clarity and superior durability.

Its upper dust dome and lower chip cover freely rotate as the router moves so that the tool operator can work unimpeded, while capturing dust from above and below the routed edge, simultaneously. The lower chip cover removes quickly and without use of tools for inner plunge work and can be replaced by the included shallow cover for tighter edge work. The router hood installs easily using the router’s existing hardware and includes a quick-release hose connection port for simple storage.
