A room filter will help get the stuff out of the air, reducing what
you breath and what settles on stuff (and then gets into the air again
when you disturb it)



Uh, that's what I was writing about. First I put in a dust collector but still
had the floating dust problem. Then I added the air filter and the dust went
away. As an aside, I was kind of proud of how I mounted that 80 lb air filter
from the ceiling by myself. Tried muscling it up there but that wasn't going
anywhere fast... ended up jury rigging a series of pulleys. Eureka!
