Small dust collection system?

I like the looks of this:

Anyone have experience with this device, or similar?

Frank, Festool makes excellent vacuums. I have the midsize (CT22), but they also have a small one that may be what you need. The vacuums are extremely quite and do a great job. I have a BOSCH ROS that I use with mine and get virtually no dust. One caution, they are expenssive. pkennedy

Have you considered a ‘downdraft table’.

I have a similar table top dust collector I use when power carving and sanding. Don’t remember the maker but the rated CFM’s are about the same and it works well as long as you keep your work within the see through wings.

Chiefk: Thanks! I checked out the CT 22 and it seems like a nice unit. I like the fact that it runs quiet. I’m thinking it may be too much machine for sanding rings, though. ...or I could get it and justify building chairs and beds indoors. ;)

Steelmum: I hadn’t considered that. Just checked out some plans at woodworkersworkshop.com (was the first search result). Looks like a neat concept. I suppose a smaller version could be made. I’ll have to figure up the costs. Thanks!

Toolz: Thank you! Is it quiet-running?

Pretty quiet, quieter than a shop vac or regular large dust collector

I have a fein vacuum it has a auto on feature that turns on the vacuum when you start the sander and it has a super filter so sawdust doesn’t fly all over the the room plus a very quite motor. It’s pretty spendy but it’s top of the line.

Thanks for the additional info, guys!

that Fein does look nice, a1Jim! The auto-on feature is pretty nice.

Well… I wound up going with the Grizzly G9955 Bench-Top Dual Dust Filter… based both on price and the limited amount of dust I would be stirring up with my little projects such as rings or small toys.

I’ve had it a couple days now and really enjoy it. Setup was a snap. Really, the only thing to do was screw in the top handle, and set up the clear plastic hood.

Planning on uploading some pictures of the new work area later, with a mini-review of the dust filter.
