Just read a study about silica dust exposure from concrete cutting
Found it on a safety website last night. They said a single day of dry cutting without a mask can expose you to 20 times the safe limit. I always wet cut but sometimes skip the respirator for quick jobs. That number got me to order a new P100 right away. Anyone else check their gear after seeing stats like that?

Glad you ordered the respirator, but wet cutting still makes a ton of fine dust you can't see. I mean, the water just keeps it from going everywhere, you're still breathing some in. A P100 is perfect for that, so good call getting one.

You're totally right, umamartin. That invisible dust is the real problem. A good mask is non-negotiable even with water.
