Regarding which tools create fine dust or not.


I was flattening a badly out-of-true beech bench top in the week using a hand-held power planer (Bosch green jobbie). I didn't expect any fine dust so didn't bother switching on the Jet air filtration unit, didn't connect the E/B dust extractor and didn't wear a face mask - just decided to sweep up the shavings at the end of the session. I was coughing through the night.


The following night on continuing this exercise I turned on the air filtration unit and wore a face mask. No coughing at all, and I was much surprised at how dusty and brown was the previously blue and pristine air filtration outer filter. Just goes to show !!!
