The invention relates to a power tool such as a router which is provided
to perform an operation on a work piece. The tool includes dust
extraction apparatus to allow dust and debris to be removed from the
location at which the work is performed and part of the extraction
apparatus is movable between storage and in-use positions. When said part
is moved to a storage position, an alternative dust extraction passage
may be fitted in to the port or aperture. Typically, the part which is
movable can be telescopically movable or alternatively, can be provided
of a flexible member so as to be moved between extended and retracted
