Description

OVERVIEW
Baseplate and Festool hose attachment for Milwaukee M18 router.  The base plate allows dust collection from below which almost entirely eliminates dust when used for straight cuts.    

Based on the design of @mgrobins.  Original model prevented factory screws from attaching to the baseplate flush and had issues that caused weakened print on the festool hose adapter.


IMPROVEMENTS 
This version fits factory screws and has enlarged center hole to allow better sight line of cutter from above.  
 

USING / FUTURE PLANS
The festool hose attachment works well for straight cuts and eliminates almost all dust. 

Current version requires leaving factory clear dust port attached and taping over its hose port. for best dust extraction. 
  
I am working on and testing an improved version that will:

  1. Allow more curved cuts on the hose connector the festool hose connector for curved cuts.  
     
  2. Adjust baseplate orientation to allow for better grip on the router base  
     

Once I finalize second versions I will upload source files for the cleaned up baseplate model (.STP) and hose adapter for others to modify to their needs.


PRINTING
Separated models into two .stl files.   

Printed with full infill in PETG + 0.2mm layer height.  PLA may work as well.
Supports are recommended for festool hose attachment.
