Look at this! here`s a reason to wear a dust mask at least. This scan is of the two filters I changed from my mask tonight. this is roughly 10 average sized knives worth of metal and wood dust. The dark one is the dirty side and the white is the other side (the inside)BIG difference. These little filters are relatively cheap and stop alot of grit from being breathed in. The one filter even has burn spots from sparks that I could have easily inhaled!!
I`ve worked with steel for roughly 12 years without using a dust mask of any sort, and I basically have to wear the mask now with the slightes bit of grinding or my lungs don`t feel so good.
Just thought I`d give maybe the new comers and maybe some others a heads up.
