How important is dust collection for a drill press? I care more about the invisibly small, dangerous particles than I do about saving clean up time. I have an old PowerMatic 15" that I usually run at less than 1000 rpm so I don't think the bit will be launching particles with the same speed as my tablesaw blade. I could run a flex hose (10' or less) easily over to it, but don't know what type of collection hood is optimal for a drill. Saw the downdraft table for drill press in another thread and it got me thinking again about adding the DP to the system (sometimes its in, sometimes its out), but it seems a simple radial arm saw type hood near the post might work as well. What are people's thoughts? Thanks.
P.S. if I insert a wye branch here for the DP, might remove the need for an adjustable nipple and cut pipe in that segment. Then I can postpone figuring out how to cut pipe for a while. Went to a hardware store at lunch to look at angle grinders and they all seem to me made in China. Any non-China models out there still?
