    When I build my 4th and final shop  two years ago,  one of my top
    priorities was an a good  ventilation system. In this shop I have a
    vent for our large polisher,  one for the burn-out oven, and one over
    the plating area.  I also knew that a ventilations system was needed 
    for  our  workbench area, so using a small wall-hung tank  vacuum
    cleaner, I hooked up  2 " plastic tubes from a woodworking
    ventilation system that are mounted  across and along the "L" shaped
    bench.  We have  3  openings with a blast-gate  on  each one, so we
    can open and close them for what we are doing on the bench. We have
    one for  soldering and , one for the pickle pot, one for the small 
    dental lathe polisher and all vented  to the  outside. We ordered  a
    motor speed control switch from Grainger Co.  so we can select the
    speed and noise level of the motor of the vacuum.  It works extremely
    well and the air in our small shop is a lot cleaner.
