If you mean you live in an apartment, I used my lathe and a drill press
that way for years. The regular splash guard will keep much of the swarf
from escaping backwards and sideways, and building a similar vertical
guard around the back and sides of your work bench will also help.
For swarf that escapes to the front, an open drawer in the work bench
will catch quite a bit, and a magnet near the tool will also help, if
you're cutting steel. Finally, a shop vac held near the tool will catch
all kinds of metal, but will also create a lot of noise.
