Like Malcolm I have a regular filtered dust collection system for the shop. I am installing a toggle switch just behind the lathe so I can better turn it on and off as needed. I have a floor sweep and a hose line dedicated to the lathe.
However more importantly I have begun using a very comfortable Totobobo face mask at all time when in the shop. I put it on when I put on my eye protection and it is so easy to wear and comfortable I forget I am wearing the mask partially because it is so light weight. It is absolutely incredible how much dust particles these filters will pick up. I had no idea!!! One thing for sure is that I no longer spend 2 days blowing dust out of my nose after working in the shop. If you need any info concerning this mask feel free to contact me at 1-877-284-8969 or
