shop vac wye for router table - jussi - 06-06-2020
Looking to split my fein vac to use for my router table. One for under and one at the fence. Under the table the port is 2-1/2" and around 1-1/4 on the fence I think. Any suggestions for a wye

1 1/4" is pretty small on the fence. Typically they are 2 1/2" .
At any rate, I think your Fein is going to have trouble keeping up with two ports simultaneously on a router table.

I do all my router collection via a box surrounding the router. As long as things are sealed up well, it gets most everything, even edge profiles.

Increase your fence fitting to 2-1/2, then attach a Y https://www.ptreeusa.com/dust_Y.html on the bottom side, then add a hose to the fence.
You can vary that hookup.
