Cyclone Dust Collection

[Farrell]

Are these the 99.99%-0.5-micron-dust-removal furnace filters and the 
minimum-800-CFM-required-for-capturing-fine-dust window fans you are 
referring to? Shame on you Gordon - I thought you were the health Guru!

Very seriously, my guess is that such a set up might help you see what you 
are doing as it might move a cloud of dust out of your way, but from a 
respiratory health standpoint, I think such a setup would accomplish about 
1% of the fine dust capturing and air filtering that a good cyclone with 
good dust-capturing devices (hoods, etc.) would.

BTW, I thought of you this morning as I inspected an old square grand that 
had a generous sprinkling of mouse turds (just from the clean-thing 
perspective).
