Marty, have not tried the DustCollectionOn that is listed under Mill, didnt think it would work for the Router buttons

I use (4) of the Ametek 122178-18 for my 5x9 router, they work great, I designed a simple box that each one mounts on, someday I will add silencers. If youre interested I can give you the drawing of the box to cut.
