The docs asked if anything changed in my environment to cause this, and I realized YES, I'm sanding a lot more. Even with my cheezy dust collection system in place, I was still breathing very minute particles of dust thru a cheap mask, that were being passed thru my shop vac's filter. Shop vacs are not sufficient. I'm also researching DCS (Dust collection systems) and I'm gonna spend some bucks on one - maybe lots of bucks, but not until after I redesign my shop (The pig slot gong is on the back burner for a while - as is any wood work). I'll let you know what I find out. This should go in the safety thread I guess. Dust=bad bad bad gap [ Edited by: tikigap 2007-02-23 09:40 ]
