If I had a router shaper table that was closed on the bottom and wanted to collect dust
with a shop vac, is there a standard fitting to plug the hose onto?
I want to mount the fitting on the table and be able to attach a shop vac or
standard vac hose to it. Oddly, I haven't seen this discussed in FW or other mag.s
but I may have missed it.

Yes, there are 4"-to-shopvac adapters available at most woodworking
stores and other places that sell dust collection stuff. There are two
sizes of vac hoses, one is approx. 2.5" and the other is approx 1.5".
Both of them use tapered end fittings, so attach/detach is easy.
If the cabinet is wood, you could also just drill a proper sized hole in
the cabinet for the shopvac hose itself.
