The last piccc of equipment T use in the shop is a high-efficien-cy air filtration system. This machine filters the air, collecting the airborne microscopic dust floating around the room. The manufacturer claims it removes 99% of the particlcs in the air that are 5 microns or larger in size, and 80% of the particles as small as 1 micron in size. One micron equals one millionth of a meter. Although it works most efficiently when suspended overhead, I have mine sitting on a table because of the low ceiling.

In addition to the equipment mentioned, wearing a dust mask is advisable while sanding your projects. Some species of wood are toxic, and others may create allergic reactions in some individuals.

Finally, use safety glasses or goggles to protect your vision and ear protection when operating noisy machinery, to provide full protection for yourself.
