If we are serious about the status of our health and we should be, then we all should read the information over at Bill's excellent site concerning the VERY REAL DANGERS associated with fine dust and our lungs. I have found that all the information about dust and cyclone pre-filters to be excellent and extremely useful. I recommend that we all read about the medical dangers found in breathing exotic wood dust at the lathe/bandsaw/sanders, etc. We just cannot be careful enough when it comes to our health and it is the "FINE dust [V]" that gets us and causes almost all of the problems.

You may not be reacting to the dust right now, but you can/will become "sensitized" to it and that is devestating since being "sensitized is far worse than being allergic. Becomming sensitized to something only means that it will get worse. Being allergic means that you react a bit to the cause and then recover. READ UP on the difference and my bet is you will be alarmed and take all the precautions you can afford to use ... and then some. Be safe and use the most expensive filteration you can afford. Study up and learn! [
