The Importance of Efficient Dust Collection

Uncontrolled sawdust can be both a nuisance and a hazard -- especially the potential health hazard of breathing sawdust. Because this involves even the most common woods, you should be particularly aware of woods that are known to be toxic.

For your safety, please refer to the list of toxic woods and the reactions they may cause (Table 25-1 below). Not everyone is sensitive to these woods, but you should still be very careful when working with them.
