Shop machine dust extraction improvements
This series of videos contributed by Ronald WaltersBreathing wood dust in the workshop can be your worst enemy. With a little effort, just about any piece of equipment can have effective dust collection. Many manufactured shop tools may already have a dust collection port, however most of them can be vastly improved by modification, plugging holes, encapsulating areas of interest or redirecting air. The idea is simple. Build a box around the work area and force the air to go where you need it for effective dust collection.
