Hello, I have been turning for about a year and a half and love to work with Acrylics / Acrylester Polyester blanks. I have a garage shop in Ohio and have two shop vacs with fine filter bags in them. One dedicated to the Lathe & one dedicated to the drill press. I don't have such a problem with the dust, but the odor of the acrylic is sometimes overpowering. Of course I can open a window or crack the garage door to clear the smell, but it gets awful cold in Ohio in the winter. Does anyone have any suggestions for better ventilation of the acrylic? Will a dust management system help with the odor? It almost seems like turning on the shop vacs emits the odor even with a new filter bag. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Jon
