Can the Router Hood be modified in the field to fit a router that isn’t compatible with the Router Hood screw hole pattern?
Yes! The Dust-Free Router Hood is designed to fit most fixed and plunge base routers. However, if the hole pattern on the base of your router does not line up with at least two of the holes or slots on the Dust-Free Router Hood, the Router Hood base may be modified in the field.

Note: the Router Hood is made from polycarbonate plastic, the same material used for bulletproof windows. It is extremely tough and drills easily without cracking. If you have difficulty customizing the Router Hood for your specific router, please contact our Customer Service Team at 866-387-8822 for assistance.
Why do I need a cyclone separator?
Standard single-stage or bag-style dust collectors lose suction very quickly as the filter becomes clogged with fine dust. The cyclone uses centrifugal force to separate dust and debris from the incoming airstream, containing it safely away from the collector. This frees up the dust collector to move as much air as physically possible without hindrance. That means less downtime for filter cleaning, continuously high suction, and significantly prolonged filter life.
If they have the same horsepower, what's the difference between the 110V and 220V models?
In general, the 220V model will have lower running amperage than the 110V, which can be an advantage for operators using multiple tools on the same breaker. There is no difference in airflow performance between different voltage variations of the system. You should purchase the unit that best matches the power requirements of your shop.
Please note that the NEMA plug type will differ between units. Refer to the Specifications tab for more information.

How does the Dust Deputy 2.5 get more airflow than smaller cyclones?
The Dust Deputy 2.5 Cyclone has a larger diameter inlet and outlet to increase flow, and a larger overall size to reduce friction relative to the volume of air passing through. Less friction means less pressure drop and increased flow.
Does the hose clamp have holes all around the band?
No. There is a small section near the lock of the clamp where there are no holes. This portion has no holes because that is as far as the clamp can contract.
