It occurs to me that woodworkers use dust collection equipment that
works very well for gathering dust, and which isn't based on a vacuum
cleaner.  Instead of being low-volume, high static pressure suckers,
like a shop vac is, they're high volume, low static pressure systems.
The high volume removes dust quite well, and isn't likely to suck too
many beads away...
