RE: [gingery_machines] I'm off to a good start, but I'd prefer to be off to a better one

Dave,

Well, I do take a few precautions including wearing wrap around safety glasses and doing all of my sawing outside. Can't say that I wear a respirator. I do see molten aluminum of more of an immediate threat. I am allergic to pine sawdust so prefer to avoid that stuff.

Rick

please read the msds before using mdf material. I won't use it.

Most MDF is made with resins that contain formaldehyde, a suspected carcinogen, according to the ebuild website. When sawing MDF boards with power tools, a fine dust is generated. You should always wear a respirator to avoid inhaling the dust, as well as side-shield safety glasses.
