I'm really new to woodworking. But I want to keep things clean, and I want to keep things safe.
What is the best solution for dust extraction for me? I will be working in a 2 car garage, with one half to work with. The main tools I plan on having for a while are sanders, jigsaws, and circular saws. Pretty basic. I'm going to be making canoe paddles (hopefully), so I think the most will be using the jigsaw and sanders. I'm being persuaded to get a Bosch jigsaw by Sawmill members, which doesn't have any hookups for dust extraction that I can tell. And I've been looking at Bosch / Mikita sanders that have some built in containers.
It seems like dust from sanding is my biggest concern. Would the bag on the sander be enough? I can always open the garage door while I'm sanding if I need to.
Do I need to worry about dust from jigsaws and other similar cutting tools? I don't mind spending some time doing cleanup, but I'm not very good at cleaning out my lungs.
Thanks! Any advice / recommendations / books / website are welcomed!
