Hey everyone! I'm looking to jump into power carving with my Dremel, but I'm not sure about safety gear. I usually carve outside, but I'm wondering if I should invest in a mask. Do you find dust and debris to be a big issue while carving?

Definitely wear a mask! Even when carving outside, the dust can get everywhere, and skipping it just leads to constant sneezing for me. Better safe than sorry!
Yeah, for sure! Wearing a mask is crucial for power carving. Long-term exposure to wood dust can be really harmful, even cancer-causing. I personally use a 3M half-face respirator with P100 cartridges, and it makes a huge difference.
I agree with you on that! It's worth the investment to protect your health.
Mask up, my friend! Trust me, you don't want sawdust messing with your lungs. I have a fan blowing out dust where I work, but still wear a mask, especially when it's really dusty.
For real! I learned that the hard way. Sneezing fits aren't fun.
