Do you notice the accumulation of ferrous, for the lack of a better word, dust fragments?

My magnets I have for misc. projects at home quickly pick up a collection of small fragments, but maybe my world is just to closely tied to steel fabrication shops.

Not yet, though I haven't done any metalwork since I got the magnets.

This was one of the questions I asked the guy who put them in, since I'll be running into this eventually. He said that this was one of his concerns going into getting his own, as he does a lot of work in a shop, but that he has found that iron and steel filings haven't been a problem.
