A garden leaf vacuum is absolutely brilliant for clearing up woodchippings and sawdust - from workshop and power tools.
I have just bought another to fix above my workbench with a flexible hose attached.
(Check out ebay to find one at a good price.)

It would be interesting to know what the continus rating of the motor is, garden vacuums tend to be used for short bursts, workshop extraction tends to be used constantly....
Proper workshop dust extractors may great vacuums too. Where they both fall down is reducung the very fine (and most harmful) airborne particles.
Fair comment Jerry - I'm not leaving it on. Just cleaning up, as and when - and moving the hose around... like an elephant's trunk!

Just as well too (used in the workshop I mean). The damn things are an abomination in a suburb, garden - the noise level is obscene (IMHO of course).
