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.

Had to rename the file from .dxf to .txt for it to upload, I assume you can rename it .dxf and have it work. Otherwise I'll have to email it to you.

Thanks Mark,
I renamed it and opened it, no problem. Do you have a photo of your completed setup?

Heres a pic, its not complete but its working, the vacuum sits on a big bead of silicon, pvc pipe is 2". I'd like to add a filter and silencer someday.
