this is for anyone who has tools but hasn't throw out cash for a dust collection system. It' called a cyclone system and it can be made for very little. I built one to connect to my saws and sanders and I think I have about 20 bucks in it(mine is a smaller unit though) and it works great. I had my doubts as to how happy I would be with it, but it really does work fantastic and I can't praise it enough. I went with it because it can be made from just about anything, there are no special filters, and if your poor like me a little creative thinking can make it fairly cheap. It also doesn't let the smaller particles escape, this first link is to a guys page that has a lot of useful info as well as his reason for building one, (i'm not sure if he actually designed it or not)
