Router and debris receptacle

A debris receptacle for a router table having a work platform and a router suspended below the work platform, the debris receptacle comprising:

• an enclosure configured to be attached to the router table, the enclosure defining an interior sized and shaped to receive the router to generally enclose the router within the enclosure when the enclosure is attached to the router table, the enclosure defining:
• a debris inlet aperture in fluid communication with the interior, the debris inlet aperture configured to be in fluid communication with a router bit aperture of the work platform so that the interior receives debris from router bit aperture via the debris inlet aperture;
• a debris outlet aperture in fluid communication with the interior, the debris outlet aperture configured to be in fluid communication with a dust collector to remove debris from the interior;
• and
• an air inlet aperture in fluid communication with air in an environment outside the enclosure;
• and
• an air intake conduit configured to connect to the router, the air intake conduit defining an air intake passageway configured to be fluidly coupled to the air inlet aperture and configured to be fluidly coupled to an air inlet of the router when the air intake conduit is connected to the router, the air intake conduit enabling the router to draw air into the router from the environment outside the enclosure through the air inlet aperture and the air inlet passageway to cool the router.
