A few years ago a member (Stick), suggested a way to keep the sawdust out of a table mounted router. He suggested running a snorkle, or tube wrapped around the base of the router (top), that allows filtered or at least relatively clean air. I went with a Triton for the table. Built in lift, yeah! but it also pushes air out past the bit so it keeps sawdust at bay. Dust collection is a bit deal for health. I have seen a few people drill extra holes in their plates and tables so the under table box pulls it away. A behind the fence dust port is also helpful and I always brush away sawdust from the last cut so it doesn't affect the cut on the next piece.
