classclownfish Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Since I am in an apartment I have an indoor work bench I took my first attempt at using a router with acrylic today. (good news) It worked great (good news) No matter how many power tools you have used inside I don't recommend using a router with acrylic indoors. I have acrylic specs in almost ever corner of my 10X10 office (bad news) But the teeth are in my baffles are turning out well. But I know for next time. Thank good news I own a shop vac since I do other tool work in my home office. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismunn Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 another tip for you. when using a router, dont touch the bit while the tool is running! you could lose the end of your finger! IME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entropy Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I wonder if there is a safe way to rig the shop vac to the router (Flowbee style). It probably still wouldn't catch everything, but it might make clean up a bit easier. Congrats on routing your own baffles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
