& hopefully staying healthy. Yes, it's probably too expensive for the random polish job but i use a Jet 1100cfm dust collector. It's made to hook up with woodworking tools but i rigged floor vents to it. The floor vents would work even better yet if i cut a hole in the bench and mounted them below. I also have an air filtration system on the ceiling. You could probably do so some version of this with a shop vac.

i normally have 10 inch pads on there but put small ones on for something.
