Abstract: A dust removal attachment for a router has a diamond shaped base plate having a circular central aperture through which the spindle of the router extends during use. A vacuum connection fitting and a handle extend upwardly from opposite ends of the top surface of the base plate. A brush, having bristles arranged in a partial circular arc which surrounds a portion of the circular central opening, is attached by a mounting flange to the bottom surface of the base plate. The brush has a concave body portion which forms a vacuum passage which communicates with the vacuum connection on the top surface of the base plate. In use, chips and dust created by the router bit are contained by the brush and suctioned off through the vacuum connection.
