I suspect that someone sort of ionic air filter would pull this stuff out of the air and either leave on an anode or drop it in a neat little pile. Shops that work will this stuff must have a fix.
UPDATE: I asked Grok. It suggested the Jostart KL306 which uses carbon fiber tips to produce ions to clump carbon fiber dust together immediately around the tool. These came in a 3 pack. I will try one at the mill to see if it works well. If it does, one for the lathe, drill press, and sander.
UPDATE: My wife read the hazard description for CFC and it is now permanently banned. I will sell the remaining pieces on eBay.
Haven't done what you are doing, but some exotic woods produce toxic dust from woodworking tools. Even if you get a separate workshop you might want to look into dust collectors (though aluminum in dust collectors can lead to fires, because aluminum dust can be an issue.)
