- While I am very attentive to wearing ear protectors and safety glasses while
- using stationary power tools, I limit respirator usage to finishing. I
- realize that organic vapors pose a threat to health, but what about fine
- wood dust? Should woodworkers use dust protection and if so what type
- of filter is adequate? Is the dust from certain wood species more harmful
- than that from others? Like many DIYs, I work in a small basement with
- limited air circulation, so the dust can become a nuisance, but is it
- harmful?
