DUST CLEARANCE

[MANCAVEDWELLER]

I have been looking at some of the many youtube videos on dust clearance, I am thinking of making a booth, from plywood but covered with a thin galvanised sheet, much in the shape of something like a fire hearth, with a tube extracting the dust into powerful wickes hoover that I have. I am mainly talking about grinding dust. Following a previous post I am welding outside which has solved that problem. My significant other is not keen on all the grinding dust product in the garden so i need to think about extraction. Anyone built anything like this. Like most of us I am on a budget and cannot really afford a bespoke system. Anyone done anything similar or have other ideas that would work. As you know if you do a lot of grinding and sanding you get covered in it and masks help but aren't the full answer

Maybe when you do knock something up putting a strong magnet inside might help to reduce filter blockage.

I'm not sure where I read it but, apparently, old/discarded Microwave ovens contain strong permanent magnets.

They also contain electronic Capacitors which can hold a charge for an extended period, for the unwary.
