If the OP's worried about his health, I'd recommend an air-filter over
a dust collector. It's the small stuff that'll kill you, not the big
particles that collect on the floor. Plus, he probably already owns a
shop vac.


You beat me to it, Jeff.

Leon, you can sweep the floor. Sweeping your lungs is not an option :-).

I have a very small shop with no room for a dust collector. But one of
the first things I built was a dust collector that hangs from the ceiling.
