I hope it helps you be a lot more comfortable! I’m unfamiliar with wood turning but pre disability I built tables, chairs, shelving, decorative art, etc and doing it without a dust extractor and with one was night and day difference. ---

I hate wearing my resperator too. I’m Hoping it may exctract enough dust that I can forgo the respirator and just wear my face shield. ---

I at times have to use a Miller Face Shield PAPR - 288356 at work. I recommend checking one out, definitely does its job and more comfortable than a standard respirator. ---

Yeah easiest way to make this not miserable and not burn out would be to just make whatever you’re feeling like making and posting it up. Kind of like Ed Davidson does. He makes yo-yos mostly in his time however he wants and occasionally he does take custom orders. Or wild woods who only makes yo-yos when schools out ---

Excellent. As long as my dust extractor has enough sucking power, this setup should work great. ![1000008887](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/6/0/460cb021dca51ff89768bce4bdfe530ff3f6454c.jpeg) ---

My experience has been that the shroud and dust collector are pretty good for the dust when sanding, but not the chips when turning. Bummer man. ---

I used to do a lot of turning, and never found a great solution. However, there were a few things that helped a lot: - Made a sliding door on the shroud so that I could reduce the opening to just a bit wider than the work piece - Attached cheap broom heads to the shroud with the bristles acting as adjustable walls to further enclose the work area - Added a cyclonic separator to the dust collector to slow down the time it took to clog the filter - Later removed the filter and exhausted the dust collector outside of my shop, relying only on the cyclonic separator (and spewing plenty of fine dust out into the adjacent desert) - Replaced flex hoses with hard line PVC - Rearranged my shop so that the shortest dust collector runs were to the lathe, router table, and jointer (most problematic machines with respect to dust) Your shroud looks like a much nicer design than the one I had. That paper filter looks like it would get clogged up and drastically reduce suction pretty much immediately though.
