Thanks for watching! While I no longer have the router hood (I moved to a Festool router), it was a combination of a hard plastic reducer (can’t remember the size) and a Kreg rubber adapter from my K5 pocket hole jig - not an ideal setup to mimick. I do think that some of the rubber Rockler sets could give you what you need.
I'm buying the DCW600B, but according to the compatibility list on Oneida's website, it isn't compatible. Did you have to make adjustments for compatibility?
While I don’t have the track guide adapter, I don’t think it would as the Oneida base is quite large. I don’t think you’d have the space between the router and track to accommodate it.
I purchased it based on this review. I was unable to get the entire shank of my Microjig dovetail bit into the collet and still set the bit to the proper depth. Am I doing something wrong? HELP!
I’m not totally familiar with the size of the Microjig dovetail bit, but I could see there being issues with bits where the cutter is really close to the shank portion that would go into the router as a result of the added thickness of the plates. With my chamfer bit, I can’t bottom-out the bit in the collet, but I can get it about 75% of the way there which hasn’t been an issue.
@@MasonWoodshop Yeah, it's really not so much about the thickness of the plate. The plate is basically the same thickness as the Dewalt plate. It's the fact that you can't bottom out the router to its lowest position because of the hose attachment piece getting in the way. I called Oneida about this and they agreed and said they have to now make some changes to their list of routers that this hood will work with. On we go. But I have to say it worked so well, just not risking not being able to get at least 75% of the shank into the collet. 😞
@@MitchBeHealthy I reached the same conclusion you did, that the hose attachment piece blocks the motor when you try to lower it to the lowest position. Haven't done this yet, because I have some bits that work fine with it as it is. But I'm really tempted to put the hose attachment piece on a bench grinder and just remove enough of the material off the top portion so that I would gain additional space to let the router motor go lower without contacting it. That might create an opening that greatly reduces the efficiency of the dust extraction, but might be worth it when compared with a scenario where you either use it or take it off completely.
Looks like it worked very well. I may have to check that out. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching! The performance was better than I expected, especially given how messy routers can be.
Very useful video…Just bought Festool Midi. What adapter did you use to connect the Router Hood? Thanks for your help!

Does this setup still work with the track guide adaptor (DWS5031)?
While I don’t have the track guide adapter, I don’t think it would as the Oneida base is quite large. I don’t think you’d have the space between the router and track to accommodate it.
Can you use this on their plunge base?
Yup, the the Oneida does fit on the plunge base for the DCW600B, the DNP612.
