    I'm sure other users will post pics of their setups. You should take a look in the photo gallery. Lots of examples there. I've found lots of good design ideas there. Also a few to stay away from!

    I am lazy.

    I let it pile up, then nothing escapes, and I just vacuum it when finished.
    ... unless you want to watch it happen, this is almost no mess for me.
    Super X3. 3600rpm. Sheridan 6"x24" Lathe + more. Three ways to fix things: The right way, the other way, and maybe your way, which is possibly a faster wrong way.

    The problem I have with the router blowing air on the work surface, it blows it all over the place, does not just pile up.

    You can see in the picture it is all over the palce.

    See this posts and the ones right after it. There's some video too. If you have a brush that completely seals the cutting area, and a dust collector, you shouldn't get any dust. I get zero dust in the air, and just need to vacuum up a small amount of the heavier chips.
