The most dangerous dust is invisible
The chips piling up on your bench are annoying but mostly harmless: they're too heavy to stay in the air. The real threat is the fine dust you never notice. It floats at face height, slips past cheap paper masks and settles deep in your airways.
If you only see dust when sunlight hits it through a window, it was there all along.
Shop tip: Judge your dust collection by the air, not the floor. A clean bench with a hazy room means the fine stuff is getting away.
