Well, I guess I'm a little backward... I often wondered about that, now I know!
Not really knowing, when I got my box fan and a filter, I merely placed it over the fan so the force of the air would help hold the filter in place & I quickly just took the power cord of the fan and wrapped it around the fan & filter to hold it better in place... Then I used it... aimed at my bandsaw! It made a big difference but there was still fine dust around (but not as much as before).
When I sand, I set it up so that the air is blown out the door... close to the sanding on my right... I have a small shop vac in the sander too... helps a lot but still some gets by it... I have nothing around the table saw...
I think a Jet type air filter would probably clean it up.
There is NOT room in my part of the garage for a formal dust collecting system... I just have to do the best I can without it.
