G'day R.R.,

    An exhaust system is a real asset to your hobby or business. Moving
    the various fumes and dusts away from your lungs is a big deal. 

    Saving those dusts can also be a big deal! The Handler 60U dust
    collector (usual disclaimers) paid for itself the first year (1996) I
    had it. I was casting a small line of nautical jewelry in South
    Florida. One trip to the refiner and that sucker was a total asset! 

    An interim option to ordering from overseas companies would be to
    get a shop vac and hook it up to collect the dusts from your grinding
    and polishing. It's definitely a low end dust extractor but it's a
    whole lot better than nothing. There is a mention of vacuum cleaner
    dust collectors in a Ganoskin article here:

    I bet that it would surprise you how much money comes back from the
    refiner at the end of a year! 

    That's my two cents, not on tool co-ops, but maybe on a way to save
    enough $ to afford those tools from the high quality tool dealer in
    your town. Stores are there to make money. Ya gotta buy their
    respect! 

    A tool co-op sounds like a great idea! Maybe you'll become the
    premier tool importer to Australia!
