Dust Control

Thanks guys! Immediately after that photo, I had to stuff a bunch of crap in there, so that's the next struggle, getting rid of too much accumulation.

John, A very astute observation.

It's a worry that I have had in mind for some time. I purchased the smallest dust collection unit and attachments kit I could find, but I have never used one before, so I don't know what it will or wont do. I've always just made a mess, then clean up. Here, I have to try to collect the flying debris as much as possible. Disassembling the CAD station is not a practical option, but a quick covering, and active dust collection is what's on my mind.

What about the properties of sawdust? Any idea if the smallest of sawdust particles can "suspend" in air awhile, or does everything make a ballistic trajectory to the floor within a few feet? How about adherence to walls, tools and other furnishings?

Any practical tips and ideas regarding dust control, would be sincerely appreciated.
