Recommendations for Dust Collector / Fume Extraction

Hi, newbie here setting up a QB2 and wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a good dust collector setup?

I intend using the QB2 for wood, aluminium and plastic (HDPE), maybe some acrylic.


I also got a laser with it and I read somewhere that depending on what you're lasering, fumes could be an issue. The CNC will be used in a shed - close to a couple of windows.


If anyone has any advice about dust and or laser fumes, it would be greatly appreciated!

Bit late the the party, but typical shops have a vaccuum with a dust boot. If fumes are an issue get 3M respirator. For dust and build up a cyclone is useful, and some good vaccums Ive used are the industrial ones with a big bucket at the bottom.
