Now someone wants to buy the DC, but I have kinda gotten attached to the
idea of using it with the lathe.
How well does dust collection work on lathes? I don't wear hearing
protection now, but would have to with the DC running; and that isn't
attractive.
Should I use it or sell it?

It collects dust, but not shavings. They'll clog it in a heartbeat. You'll
clear it so many times that you'll get sick of it.

I use one when sanding, collecting from underneath where gravity helps, and
it'll do about 90-95% of that dust. Mask the rest.
