Details

The revolutionary LEIGH VRS (vacuum and router support) is the ultimate waste control and router support for your LEIGH dovetail jig. The router is positioned between the adjustable control arms that are fitted to suite any size router base and attached to the vacuum chute below. The vacuum chute glides effortlessly from side to side on nylon rollers and automatically follows the router when routing the joint or when the router is parked off to the side. The chute is always in the perfect position to catch the chips being thrown out by the high-speed router bit action. Chips and sawdust are drawn into the vacuum chute and down through the vacuum hose. It comes complete with two adaptors to fit all popular vacuum hose sizes from 1" to 2-1/2". All mounting hardware is included. It can be used with a small shop vacuum or large dust collection system. Easily attaches without jig modification.

Very expensive for what you get

The Leigh VRS accessory is easy to assemble and install. The dust collection portion works welleven though it is made of a cheap plastic. The router support itself is fine but the arms the support the unit need adjustment with each use because the flex under the weight of my 2 1/4 hp Makita router. Beyond these issues the VRS seems to work well; the router does bnot tip and the waste is vacuumed away. The only real issue is that for what this accessory cost you expect something more substantial and robust.
