Hey - I use my tools and I don't have a dust collector, nor do I see the
need for one.

A few years ago, I built a bedframe for someone. Kind of like a waterbed
frame but this one held an air mattress. Constructed mostly of mdf with
plastic laminate. I was standing at the tablesaw, having ripped a few sheets
of this stuff, when he drove up. He took a look at me, standing ankle deep
in mdf dust, wearing a respirator, glasses and looking like a human shaped
piece of mdf. He decided right then I needed a dust collector. We headed
straight down to Rockler and he bought me a Jet DC 1100. Don't know if I
would have ever gotten around to buying one myself but after having one for
a while, I wouldn't be without it.
