I wear one too, especially around MDF. MDF dust drives me crazy. So does welding. If I weld for a few hours, especially on the rusty old farm crap I'm usually working on, it takes me days to get rid of the taste when I cough. That can't be good for one's lungs!

In the winter when all the doors and windows are closed, I wear one depending on the wood variety. However I have been upgrading my DC systems . I use a dedicated mini cyclone system with all...repeat all my sanding equipment. In fact I use DC systems for all my workshop tools. Since I have been religiously doing this I find I have little need for the dustmask...which is a good thing as wearing a dustmask with glasses and earmuffs is a right pain in the hot weather....**It\'s better burn out than fade away**...Comment

A bit of a hijack: Jim Topin suggest that you mist your work area frequently as it will cause the dust to fall toward the floor and not remain airborne.It sounds like an interesting idea but I am not too crazy about mist of water on all of my cast iron tools.spellling champion Lexington region 1982Comment

So you put in a mist system like the food stores use for their veggies...quote:Originally posted by messmaker

Health is the best reason for you to invest in a DC system ASAP. I have noticed that I'm developing an increasingly severe sensitivity to dust as I get older - eapecially after 50. With the DC on line I'm down to almost no dust and no hacking fits. I still use a mask for the fine stuff and the dust 'flingers', like the router.
