Hey all how far from your lathe is your dusty?
Was thinking about next to it but the dust in the air form the dusty might be a problem?

It's on the other wall inline with the lathe at the moment

As long as your DC is still inside your shed it's just filling your shed with fine invisible dust which is the stuff that is really bad for your health. The simplest solution is to put the DC outside. It also gets rid of the horrible noise they make. if you have neighbors to worry about you can always put it inside a small air tight cupboard that vents to the outside or do something like I describe in this thread (http://www.woodworkforums.com/f245/bobls-shed-fit-134670/) start at post #127 and take if from there.
