HDPE or UHMW would work fine. MDF will also work. see post #70 of this thread. I used 3/4" MDF.

Don,

Thanks for the post, since I'm still in the construction phase, I'm just going to use your drawing as a template and cut it out by hand.. I'm going to just leave off the vacuum port for now.

Here is a mount I whipped up. Feel free to modify to suit your needs. The clamp gap is sized to be cut with a 1/4" or smaller bit.

I got tired of the downdraft from my DeWalt DWP611 spreading the dust before it could be picked up by the vacuum. The DWP611 is variable speed and has 2 LEDs in the base on either side of the spindle to light up the cut area which is very nice. I have used this router for about 40 hours now and it still runs like new. There didn't appear to be any easy way to mount the deflector to the bottom of the router until I noticed there were 2 screws that held the shaft lock button assembly in place. So, I designed an air deflector that would use those 2 screws as the attach point. All you need to do is find 2 matching screws that about 1/4" longer.

It seems to work great, the chips and dust don't get blown around much at all making the vacuum pickup much more effective. Below are 2 pictures of the deflector right after cutting and 1 of it mounted. You can see the work surface below the router is well lit by the 2 LEDs. The only thing you have to do after machining is counter sink the 2 attach holes on the bottom with holes big enough to clear the screw heads.

Finally got my Dewalt mounted on my V90! Here is a quick vid of it cutting out a better mount. This one is made with 3/4" plywood, 0.05" depth per cut at 15ipm with spindle speed of about 20,000rpm
