This lathe falls into the "pretty crappy" category. It only costs about $100 when on sale.Ben Krasnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234629396863486242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401164737462963207.post-65436131995907509402012-11-23T12:53:05.175-08:002012-11-23T12:53:05.175-08:00What type is model number for that lathe?What type is model number for that lathe?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141238466107109618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401164737462963207.post-4641377842692436922012-10-21T22:06:54.219-07:002012-10-21T22:06:54.219-07:00Anonymous, it's true that I don't have any...Anonymous, it's true that I don't have any dust collection. I don't do woodworking very often, and just deal with the dust when it happens. It's true that the tiny dust particles drift a very long way from the source.<br /><br />When I moved into this shop, I considered building a wall between the woodworking side and the rest of the shop. I may still do this. -BenBen Krasnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234629396863486242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401164737462963207.post-50206405624897569362012-10-21T00:57:28.294-07:002012-10-21T00:57:28.294-07:00I didn't see any vacuum system, how are you co...I didn't see any vacuum system, how are you controlling the dust in your shop? From my days working in a cabinet shop, I remember the dust most of all... It gets into everything and everywhere! I ask since it looks like the wood working seems to be sharing the same space a your other projects. Get enough of it in your HV supply for the microscope and watch out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401164737462963207.post-29071731698659957652012-10-20T10:21:30.648-07:002012-10-20T10:21:30.648-07:00Anonymous, thanks!

The cartridges in mine are a particulate/hydrocarbon combo that probably includes activated carbon, but the carbon doesn't do anything for macroscopic particles. I don't know about the exact science, but I do know that turning a wood part on the lathe for 6 hours without a respirator causes me severe throat irritation, so that alone is worth avoiding.Ben Krasnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234629396863486242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401164737462963207.post-74296103668499435062012-10-17T07:33:53.173-07:002012-10-17T07:33:53.173-07:00Hey Ben,

Can I ask, what respirator/...Hey Ben,<br /><br />Sweet vase.<br /><br />Can I ask, what respirator/cartridges you're using in this video?<br /><br />Also are you sure on the science behind needing a respirator during rough cuts? It was my understanding that its only really during sanding/filing that the wood particles get fine enough to pose a respiratory hazard, and generate enough friction to combust/evaporate harmful oils/resins.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
