I have (from cnc router) attached a vacuum hose which goes to a 3 inch pipe which routes to another area. The PVC goes out the wall into a "sealed" wood box that has a small canistor vac inside with NO vacuum bags.
All the dust and chips are sucked into the wooden box but they have to strike a pan full of water first. The entrance area is focused straight at a pan of water.
The water captures stuff before it can reach the canistor vacuum directly.
The canistor vac is exhaust leaves this box via a pipe which also has a PVC around it for more sound buffering which also keeps noise down. This works very well..it is not good enough for using at night in a house full of sleeping people however it is (guessing) 60-80% better than a vac without a wooden box...hope that was of some use.
