I didnt even know they made a dust shroud for that router, I looked for one but couldnt find it. Its not hard to make at all, infact it was rather easy.

If you do decide to make one be sure to use a cardboard patern template. Cut the shape to fit the openings on both sides then flatten out the template and use it as a pattern for the lexan. after you heat the lexan let it take the shape of a 3" PVC pipe. You'll most like ly need to file, maybe work the edges so it fits nice and snug in the openings of the router.

I found that you can heat the lexan in a toaster oven at about 400 for about 2 min or less, if you heat it too much the lexan will bubble. It only has to be maleable(sp) to softly bend over the 3" pipe. AND BE SURE TO WEAR GLOVES...THAT THING GETS PLENTY HOT.
