I have a persistent cough which gets worse when I'm using the machines which aren't connected directly to the dust extractor (currently a 1hp poorly designed unit). Our resaw bandsaw and drum sander are connected directly to the extractor, which is a major help, but the belt sander and overhead router in particular spew dust over the operator at will.</div> <div><br></div> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">I purchased (ordered) a 5hp cyclone separator today  </font><a href="http://www.clearvuecyclones.com/"><font face="Arial" size="-1">http://www.clearvuecyclones.com/</font></a><font face="Arial" size="-1"> .
