Some of my machines have an inbuilt extractor system, i just hook em to a vacume/ hoover cleaner, and keep that outside. Other machine i had to custom build a box wall around it. Even then the box is about 5 liter but it cant extract that much a second. Bone dust is real toxic even wood dust is, and it pollutes the enviroment. I used an extractor or find other methods that wont make dust, but chips instead.
In NZ, stone carving techniques are also used on bone, in stone carving, water is used to remove the dust chips, the water runs over the blade and the dust runs off with it. The system i use is based on the water method, but uses air instead.

Roybi belt sander has inbuilt dust bag, can fit extractor.

I hate masks, cant breath and to hot in summer :(
