Dust Suppression

I'm still just using a broom and dust pan.

You can probably rig a vacuum port and a cheap shop vac near your disc sander to catch at least most of the dust. The band saw's particles are bigger and less of a problem IMO. You're probably not going to be able to install a dust port without cutting the bottom guard on it. Maybe put the vacuum hose right against the underside of the table near the lower guides?

My only problem is I hate the sound of shop vacs. There are dedicated wood shop vacuum systems available but they're also more $.

sounds like my workshop dusty

I did purchase a ash vac which connects to a vacuum cleaner to fit on the band saw it works well and doesn't clog up the vacuum cleaner don't think the wife is to happy about it when I pinch the vac tho.

but most of the time I have a high tec brush and pan

Mark there are a number of DIY box fan filter system on you tube that could help a lot with the air born dust. You can set them up by your work as you are sanding. or sawing. Not expensive and work. Before I got a shop grade filters system I made Two box fan boxes and use cleanable 20"x20"house filters. Used them for years. Ware a mask also!!!!!!!

As CV3 mentioned I use a bench standing dust extractor that I power carve in front of they work exceedingly well and if left running will

pull airborne dust through it, By calculation the one I use theoretically changes the air in the shop 10 time per Hour less any inefficiencies.

They are basically a strong Sucking fan with a fiter pad in front.
