Hello!
I was reading a good woodworking book last night and I came across a thorough discussion of fire hazards. I was surprised to learn that the hazards are not just the ones with combustible/flammable chemicals, but that there is a real risk of a spark igniting airborne sawdust......and piles of sawdust exploding into flame......
So I'm wondering if anyone has ever experienced something like that or known of any stories like that or if the discussion was grossly exaggerated?
thanks,
cynthia
