Hello y'all,

    I worked with a man once who wore safty glasses all day long, a dust
    mask, ear protection and rubber gloves.I am not kidding. This is a
    person who wouldn't think of cleaning the polishing machine or even
    his work space. I have seen a lot of shops and most resemble pig
    stys. During my apprenticeship in Germany, (a long long time ago), I
    was tought the important stuff like sawing straight, filing
    straight, soldering and taking care of my tools , shop cleanliness.
    Dustcollectors only work as long as the filters are cleaned or
    changed. My dustcollector get cleaned every other week, the
    polishing machine and the floor every week. Don't forget that
    polishing dust is worth money! It's my work space,I make cool jewelry
    there, sometimes I even make money there. I keep it clean. So I guess
    my point is... sure, some of these compounds may not be good for you
    over a long time if you breath their dust all the time, but you can
    minimize the exposure a great deal just by practicing a little common
    sence. That's my 2 cents worth. 

Have a great day,
Hans
