Oh, I agree absolutely. I just wanted to emphasize the invisible danger-- I've talked to enough guys who have leather aprons, faceshields, and deadfalls but no respirator or dust collector to know that people are worrying about the projectile that can happen. What they are less concerned about is the microparticulate dust that will happen every single time you turn a buffer on... which I wanted to emphasize the danger of.
