I used a cheap strap-on mask. Dust got into the nostrils anyways. Makes me nervous about my health now...

LOL. I when I cut mine I was in a closed garage :banghead: I had a mask but I didnt use it that much. :banghead: I would cut outside if I could. The people down the street are very anal about things like it tho. Next time I ever have to cut the stuff I am doubling up the mask or getting a better mask.

Would you be cutting on your property? If so, tell your neighbors to go to hell. I hate people who make stuff their business when there is no need to. Unless you were dumping saw dust into their living room, tell them to shut up.

You need a "Dust Collector" to cut MDF.

or this larger one..
When hooked up to the bottom of my table saw, there is almost no dust at all. And more importantly, none flying airborn in the air.
660 to 1600 cubic feet of air moved per minute! Its not like a vaccume with high pressure.. its low pressure but high air volume.
Even when cutting typical wood with a tablesaw, I noticed that my lungs would sometimes get dust in them.. and the mess was bad too. With the dust collector, theres no more dust all over my basment equipment.. and theres no more blowing my nose and seeing black gook come out.
I Highly recomend investing in one if you plan on doing a lot of woodworking projects.

I use a 3M painting mask when cutting MDF and it has worked great for me. For only $20 it is a great piece of gear.
