- Anything that can be blown away by a blast of compressed air from 3 feet or
more will have to be boxed or secured. Brooms and vacuums are too inefficient.
Sweep up with a compressed air nozzle, and suck up the piles through the DCS
uptakes.

In the eternal war with gravity over whether my tools and parts
stay on the bench or choose to fall and roll underneath it, I'm
not sure I'd care to give my opponent the extra advantage. :)

Forget that!

How about a raised computer room style floor? Instead of using the
raised floor hollow for cabling and a return air plenum, we could
simply put it under heavy negative pressure and suck the dust right
into the floor. Finishing fumes too! <G>

Think of it as a down draft table that you walk on.

I'm really going to try and collect as much swarf/shavings/dust as
possible at the source, to avoid the need for major cleanup on a
routine basis. That said, I still enivision the need for periodic
dusting, and compressed air just seems to be the way to go.
