I made a stab at rigging up a HF unit, primarily for bandsaw and stationary sanders, but didn't do too well. Couldn't get good collection from the bandsaw, and the filter bag seemed to just pump dust into the air.
This has been the method for a long time- several brooms (lobby broom FTW) around the shop, brush (horsehair) and dust pan(s), & variable speed Makita blower. The blower has a 25' cord taped to it's long cord, can reach everywhere and is always plugged in. At low speed it acts as an air broom, raising little dust. Shavings are swept into piles and picked up occasionally.
The jointer and planer eject most of their chips into containers, & the table saw collects most in it's cabinet. A custom little rake helps when it's time to empty. The other jointer empties into a box which doesn't hold very much. Below the dust pan you can see the trash bin, and a smaller one for scrap metal. Shown are the two favored respirators. The shop gets a good blow every few weeks or so, at the end of the day, then sweep up the following morning. The blower is excellent for cleaning the dust off of oneself at quitting time.
I don't have a lot of room, & if a DC gets part but you still have to sweep and blow, I just do that. I have a Fein vacuum with a long hose and a bag as well as good filter, and avoid using MDF. The vacc is especially good hooked up to a portable power plane to clean up painted wood. Chips and shavings are emptied into the green waste bin. Next to the DC attempt, you can see a turbine roof vent, which does a good job of exhausting fine floating dust. Several mats along the way into the house help with tracking and my spouse is not too fussy.
