just about everyone;)! I use a Delta Shopmaster overhead unit that does a nice job for the money. i will eventually upgrade, but it is a good, basic model, very easy to install.
 
My Jet 1000B hangs from my 9 foot shop ceiling. It was the first thing I hung from the ceiling after the lights went up when I built the shop two years ago. It runs all the time I'm making sawdust, then a couple of hours more after I quit for the day. There's a fine film of dust everywhere, but a whole lot less than if I didn't have that filter unit. It also works well to circulate the warm air that rises near the intake from my wood stove just below. Heats the whole 30 X 30 foot room up pretty quickly.
 
I also have the Jet. I love it. I always use it when I sand, sometimes when I turn. (depends on the size of chips/ slivers. I beleive them to be well worth the money. I would recomend one right after dust collection at the site of creation.
 
I have the JDS-750 and it's worth every penny. You only need to clean it( which is SUPER easy) one time to be convinced. When you see all the c@#p that would have been in your lungs or all over your shop you'll realize what a good investment it is.[8D]
 
Basically the same machine so if you want to save money NOW get the Jet. If you want to save money LATER get the JDS. I say that because the JDS has a LIFETIME warranty AND it's made in the USA.
 
We just use a triple-filtered box fan. It works pretty good to catch the small amount of dust that the dust collection system misses.
 
Currently I'm using a box fan with a filter.

I do have plans to make this though ...

That looks pretty sweet. It's strange that it has a filter on the outflow side, however. One would think that the force of the air blowing out of the fan concentrated on one small area of the filter would greatly reduce the filter's efficiency.

I'd probably build it with all three filters stacked on the 'in' side and no filter on the 'out' side.

This actually has 3 filters in it ...

I saw that. Two filters on the 'in' side and one filter on the 'out' side.
