Hi,
Bearing in mind some other posts at the moment,
I just wanted to post something up about wood dust in the workshop.
Whenever you work with wood you're going to make a bit of dust.
The more machines you use the more the dust and although extractors help they don't take away the fine stuff.
Years ago people never worried about this sort of thing too much and I'm not saying some are not paying the price now.
The thing is, how far do you go? How dangerous is it to breath in, from a bit of orbital sanding, routing, bandsawing and table sawing, the fine dust that is invariably left behind?
We all do it. Are we stacking up probs for the future?
What do you think? How far should we go in protecting ourselves?
Regards
