[modeleng] Dust from hard woods-workshop projects

Hi to all,
I am told that most hard woods that we work that  produce dust are bad for us, 
i surpose when woodworking was done at slower speeds with shavings instead as 
now with routers at high spindle speeds.
I surpose that metal machining  that we do at work with very high spindle 
speeds and large feed rates(15,000 to 30,000RPM) and flooded with 
coolant/cutting lubricants we get a mist which we need special 
collectors/Vacumn cleaners so that the workshop does not end up in a haze.
I would think that with Health and Safety that this has been looked into and we 
are protected againist harm(I hope).
Not the kind of thing that we encounter in our home workshops except for wood, 
and a vacumn can take care of that.
On another subject what is everyone making at the moment in their workshops.
yours for now.
