Warning: MDF Mayhem *cough*!
babydickonboard:
my room is right next to the garage where i worked on my cab, and i pretty much lived in the stuff for a couple months. my clothes where constantly covered w/ mdf dust particles. i never really had any health problems or coughing. i never wore any mask, even when i was routing out the t-molding. ( which caused so much dust it looked like the entire garage was smoked up. ) mdf doesn't really bother me much exept for its wieght and it dulls all of my tools. but in my mind the benifits of it exceed the negitives. ( mostly cost and ease of painting...but mostly cost .)

Come on man, use your head. That stuff is so bad for you to breathe in it isn't even funny. Just do a google search on "mdf dust" and you'll get a huge list of sites saying how hazardous it is.
Vigo:
I'm sensitive to the stuff, use a havy duty mask and eye protection. but I found that it even makes my eyes go red for days even with the eye protection. Soon, I'm going to invest in tight goggles so I don't have eye damage later in life.
nullb0y:
i bought cheap masks and was carefull to keep my face away from excess dust i still had mdf clumps in my nose ewwww lol
NightGod:
Weird, my buddy and I cut the stuff in his garage with no protection and never had anything worse than a mouthful of dust that a swig of beer took care of.
Granted, I would be more careful now after reading up more on it, but I guess we're lucky neither of us was ultra-sensitive.s
