    I have an extractor in the workshop which is a steel drum with two 1000w motors inside the hood. This makes a good extractor and vacuum for cleaning up the floor. I also have a sliding attachment to fit to the back of my lathe which the extraction hood runs along so that I can move it to suit where I am working. I also have one of the Axminster box type air filters in the roof space of the shop as well for filtering the air. This works quite well but if I ever wanted another I would make one from 9mm mdf. The unit is simply a box with a fan at one end and a filter at the other. Rolls of filter material are not hard to come by and a simple kitchen type extractor fan would do the job.
