Hi Nauris, In my case i made my dustfoot out of transparent acrylic top and transparent PVC/Vinyl skirt, i like to be able to see what is happening at the router bit.
The downside to the PVC Strip skirt is that it does not drop down into the channels that are being cut (whereas a brush skirt might) so it allows the chips to be fired down those channels like a bullet from a gun and escape the dust foot, they then bounce all over the place.
This is probably fairly exclusive to the material i cut which is 90% HDPE so the chips are big and slippery and bouncy so they can really fly off in all directions compared to wood chips.
The plus side of HDPE though is that i doubt it would do any dmage to rails and bearings etc as it is so soft and slick
I did order a piece of Brush Skirt from aliexpress but i found that the bristles where way too stiff for my liking.Last edited by howser37; 21-10-2015 at 11:16 PM.
