Hey guys, for those of us on Minis what do you recommend for dust collection? Make your own setup or buy an attachment?
What I'm after is something to help out mainly during sanding of my mini lathe work. Additionally, I just have a shop vac.
I saw something at woodcraft (can't find it on their online store) that was an acrylic box that was either attached to the lathe or attached close to the lathe that you'd plug your hose into, at the time i was in a hurry so didn't investigate further. OR do you guys just use dust masks and not worry about it when sanding (I currently use a dust mask when sanding, but figured having my shop vac on for at least the sanding part, would probably be healthier in the long run).
Opinions? photos? any info? :)
