I can't help you with answers, Bill, but I have some similar questions I'd like to ask here as well. (I'm sorry if this seems like a highjack, but maybe my questions can help with your thought process, too!).
It seems to me there are two main issues with dust:
1. having to clean it up around the shop
2. breathing in dangerous dust
I would like to know opinions(or facts) as to what is nececssary to keep things relatively clean in a small shop: e.g., is the type of unit Bill asks about adequate to hook to one tool at a time and do a good job? In other words, what is necessary at minimal costs <$500 to do this.
Secondly, is this minimal outlay somewhat futile in controlling dangerous dust particles and if so, how much does one need to spend on what for safe breathing. I don't want to have premature lung issues, but also can't seem to justify more $$ in dust collection than any of my tools. (but I may be wrong). Sorry for the intrusion of your post Bill.
