    Thanks PJ, I just added one picture to the first post. It shows that I put the carbon mesh filter on the front of the unit. Hides that orange filter color.
    That is not why I put it on the front. I thought it would be easier to vacuum up small chips there than from the pleated filter.

    Ran two smoke tests with the filter on and off. Both tests pulled all the smoke from a match into the filter. The match was located at the lathe tool bit and it was obvious that all the smoke went to the filter inlet. I think it will work good while turning.

    Now back to my afternoon snack!

    Cheers, JR
