Figured I'd start a new thread rather than hijack another one:
If I won the lottery, my shop would have a sanding/dust room where all the dusty things happened. The very rare ticket purchases I do haven't paid off yet, so I'm looking for alternatives.
Figured there are probably enough here with industrial and serious hobbyist woodworker and other experience to give me some good advice.
I've been slow rolling getting into my CNC router because of the particulate control issue. These couple of posts have made me realize that it's probably an easier job with the router than with a laser due to the burning stuff. Burning phenolic (plywood) isn't exactly awesome, not to mention trying to do any composites or plastics.
Dust control on the particulates front has recently gotten a lot better. Reviews of this seem to indicate it's a good solution. I first became aware of it when researching table saws, but I'm leaning toward it for the CNC router, old-fashioned router table, big disc sander, and mitre saw I already have. I'm not allergic to wearing PPE, but I still don't want a lot of dusts (especially composites) getting all over the place even if I drag the tools outside.
