Wood dust might not be considered as risky as silica dust, but long-term exposure can still cause various health problems. These can include skin, eye, nose, and throat irritation, and in serious cases, even lung or nasal cancer. When you work with wood, you can also be exposed to resins, mold, bacteria, and unknown chemicals, which means it's hard to know how dangerous the wood dust really is.
The best way to protect your health is to remove sawdust before it spreads in the air. That's why all our wood planing and routing tools are designed to be dust-ready, with features like:
- A built-in dust outlet or an adaptor that easily connects to a dust extraction hose
- Direct dust capture right at the source
- No disruption to your work
Take a look at our full range of dust-ready wood planers and routers and find the perfect fit for your needs.
