What kind of machinery do you have in there, If its all hand tools you stand a chance, if not you need extraction at the machines as well

I did very similar but used Axminsters filters. It does work but only just. I'll soon be upgrading using a new cooker hood motor that I'm waiting for from ebay. That will do up to 600m3/hr according to the manufacturers so, should be more efficient (I hope).


Edit. When you say 'Dust Extractor' do you mean Workshop Air Filter?
