I was finishing the last of the benches for the tools in my small shop so that I can move them around as needed. This last one holds both a belt/disc sander & a bench grinder. Thought I completed it, but then decided to make a "waterproof" drop-shelf to hold some quenching water when I hand sharpen drill bits, etc. I had some Corian pieces on hand leftover from the counter-top cutouts for a kitchen sink & thought that would be a good use for it since it has been hanging around for the last 17 years (guess that qualifies me as a pack rat). Not having worked with Corian before, I was a bit surprised to see how much fine dust was produced when cutting it on the TS. WOW! It does create a lot of dust! Nasty stuff to cut, but don't expect much of a problem tomorrow(?) when I drill for the hinges.Sure glad I had the dust collector/air filtration/respirator/safety goggles/face shield on.
Seems like a lot of precaution, but I had no regrets. ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
