Quick test with 6 inch Planer

All wood-chips go into pipe which is just poked into the outlet aperture; motor is quiet enough
The d/e is fairly bulky but really easy to move around

Probably a stupid question, but should I be using a respirator while cutting spalted wood? I wouldn't want to get any fungus dust in my lungs. :|

I really, REALLY recommend that you spend the money you have saved on upgrading the filter, as I did here.
You won't regret it.

Yes and while there is any fine dust in the air.

You could get a particle detector to find out how clean your shop is and monitor it while you work. If it starts going up your DC may have a leak. It isn't designed to be in the dust stream so don't hold it in front of a table saw blade or beside the sandpaper while turning on the lathe. Sitting on a shelf about head level or on a stand a few feet away does it.

I personally don't have one but the Aussies are playing with these. I have a Dylos that I bought before these came to market.

The yes is to wear the protection and not that your question is dumb. :wink:
