    Why Is It

    Whenever I use a Circular saw, and no matter what position I use it, I always get sawdust in my face. I'm trying to finish my privacy fence, or at least get to a good stopping place, and I just don't like the taste of treated lumber. Oh Well, Bill

    Don't like the taste? Don't eat it then! Just think of all the fiber in sawdust! It out to have some health benefits.

      I thought this was gonna be one of your jokes--I was ready with paper towels over the keyboard, screen cleaner at my ready, all spillable drinks moved out of the way...

      Re' circ. saw and dust--that's why I got the Porter-Cable--can hook it to my shopvac and get *zero* dust. It's also sturdy, light and accurate as heck. After using it for awhile I wouldn't trade it in for any other CS on the market, at least not for what I use it for.

        Jeff - I'm surprised you didn't recommend DUD to wear a dust mask. That's one demerit. That's the Rx for CS's.

          I have the Bosch cs20 and I ordered the optional dust shield, if I can borrow one of my parents camera's, I will post pictures of it later this week. It looks like it should fit other models.

              Dust mask? What's that?

              Oh yeah, in the hot summer weather when you're sweating over a project, blowing sawdust in your face, and you walk in the door, your wife asks you, "What's with the dust mask"??

                Jeff - I wish I knew 30 yrs ago how sick I was going to get for not wearing one, and how bad the fumes and dust actually were. My co-payments reflect my contribution to the medical profession for trying to rectify my stupidity. My wife will now chase me with a bat if I don't wear a dust mask, or a respirator.
