1. A bench-top dust collector that captures dust emanating from a dust-producing tool or device that lacks a dust connection to a dust extractor, comprising:
a filter housing having a peripheral wall adapted for removably housing a dust capturing filter, the housing having an open front side and an open rear side;
a rear compartment adjoined to the rear side of the filter housing, and dimensioned to mate with the open side of the filter housing; the rear compartment having a panel on which are mounted an array of fans for moving air in the direction from said filter housing to rearward, and a rear wall spaced from said panel and array of fans to define a filtered air plenum formed within said rear compartment; and said rear wall having an imperforate upper panel and a lower panel portion formed as a perforated grille for allowing discharge of air from said plenum.
