Router facing up
Hi, first of all, sory for language mistakes, I'm from Chile.
Here's the "problem" I had, I was doing some wood rings yesterday with my router, they where like 5 inches radius rings, and I find the fastest way to do them was using the router facing up, like it was set up on a router table.
Everything went perfect, but at the end, when it came to cleaning the router, it was a mess, I find it that the inside of the router was full with dust (rings made out of half inch mdf) and it seemed that the dust would never stoip coming out of the router.
Is it normal?, I pretty much cleaned it with canned air, but it concerns me a little bit, is it ok? should I take some precaussion next time?
Thank u all, great forums.

I would just get a vacuum and get all the dust out that way. I think it would become an issue if you didn't periodically vacuum the router out, especially given if it were permanently mounted in a table.

sorry I didn´t catch that very good. The word VACUUM isn't on my dictionary.
Looked for it on google and it translated it to what would be EMPTY in spanish.
Anyway, you mean take apart the router to clean it? or just blowing strong to clean (consider I don't use it that way often).

Vacuum cleaner, it's a thing that sucks dust up.
No don't pull it apart. I just stick the hose into the area around the router bit where dust collects (at least it does on one of my routers) and also too vacumm around the air vents to the motor housing.

Some routers come with a plate that can be fitted when the router is "upside down" to help keep the dust out of the router. Maybe yours did too?
