Does a decent job

I have this dust hood. It does a good job keeping the dust out of the air when doing cuts off the edge of the piece. Don’t let the shop-vac issue bother you. An adapter can be found at woodcraft or rockler for less than five bucks, and not breathing harmful dust is certainly work that.

Helps with dust collection, but limits view of work
I bought this set along with others for my instruments to reduce dust in the garage after a lung infection. It does help with the dust, but the look on my work piece is limited to much for my taste. The adapter for the fixed base is useless if you edge with a router directly to the guide. The adapters are abound for 2.5 "shop vacs, check out Home Depot. Mine is connected to my central dust collector.

Works as well as it can
The price is too high for this item, but basically you’re paying for Bosch advertising there. The product does do a decent job of capturing dust, but enough still escapes that prevents me from giving this a 5 star. If you are not able to find anything else, this set does do a decent job and is WAY better than using no dust extraction.
