Sanding wood generates a huge amount of dust. While wood dust isn't as harmful as silica dust, long-term exposure can still lead to health issues. These can include skin, eye, nose, and throat irritation, and in extreme cases, even lung or nasal cancer. When working with wood, you're also exposed to resins, mold, bacteria, and unknown chemicals, so it's hard to know how dangerous the wood dust might be.
The best way to protect your health is to extract dust before it becomes airborne. That's why we offer a systemic approach to dust control – all our tools are dust-ready and work seamlessly with our dust adaptors, abrasives, and dust extractors. With our wood sanders, you can expect features like:
- Built-in dust outlet or attachment for easy connection to a dust extraction hose
- Dust extraction right at the source
- No interference with your work
Check out our range of dust-ready wood sanding tools and find the best fit for your needs.
