How to provide power to router in router table

You can buy rubber grommets to seal the hole around the plug. They sell them usually at office supply stores or hardware stores in their specialty screws and bolts bins. A little airflow is good though.

I just took my dust collection box apart. The box was built with the 110 plug on the inside. I used a regular house box, with the double out let. I thought that I had it sealed up pretty well, by sealing the openings of the box and putting a child protection plug in the unused receptacle. When I tool it apart to install a new router I figured I would look in the box. It had dust in it.
This time when I rebuilt it I have the chord running out through a hole. I left the hole open for airflow to the dust collector. No wore electrical boxes in side the dust box for me.

Thanks all. That was another problem I was thinking about, air flow to at least cool the router if not for the vacuum flow. I was thinking a small vent opposite of where my vacuum connection is. I’ll just incorporate something to run the cord through.

Its obvious really, but do make the hole big enough for the plug as well as the cable – so you don’t have to take the plug off if you want to use the router outside the table.
