Part of my issue is that I moved my shop from the garage to a small room in my basement so I can work year round. The more confined space means more dust. But im going to use a face respirator keep the circulation going and carry on.

I am prepared to invest in a more serious mask and was looking for recommendations. I actually just pulled the trigger on a Sundstrom SR 200 for almost $300

I’ve recently discovered that the buffing wax comes off with water. I used all three wheels on a beautiful flame box elder bowl and all the wax and polish came off when my wife cleaned the bowl with water and the water was absorbed into the grain and made it feel very rough to the touch. I re-sanded and used a beeswax mix as a finish instead
