ALERT: This is only for very shallow cuts in circumstances described below. It is not recommended for regular or normal use. For shallow cuts, you should first position the router bit as high into the collet as is proper and doable, and then if you still have too much height for your dust collection, temporarily using one of these extensions may help. Needlessly placing your bit too far down and your router too high up reduces rigidity, increases risk of breaking the bit, and is detrimental to the LowRider’s well designed performance.
NOTE: this is the extension set for the ~48mm vac hose version. (If you have 2.5" vac hose, go here for that main remix, and here for that extension set.)
When you are not cutting deep and you want to get your dust shoe closer to the work, you can always insert your bit further into the collet, but there are limits to how far that can go. Whenever you need “more” — and especially if your collet situation is a challenging case like @Jonathjon’s … here’s a link to a newly posted remix, in which I offer 4 different heights (3 new ones beyond the original) of the vac shoe “lower” part.
