Thank you all for your replies. Interesting to see what others do and see that there is no real consensus among members. I think I will use a mask but I'm a bit conservative when it comes to my health (don't smoke and have been running for years). I'm sure it's all a calculated tiny risk. We should all wear seatbelts, helmets etc. but it really comes down to individual decisions. Thanks for your thoughts.

Pat, I don't know the answer. Having never actually used a wet tile or lap saw I don't know how much dust is produced if any. I do really like my lungs and don't see any downside to a mask other than comfort. Really just curious what others with years of experience do. I'm sure many members have decades of experience and contacts. Wonder if they have ever heard of or know someone with documented silicosis.

I am just a tumbler at this point but am thinking of buying a cheap tile saw. I realize that these are wet saws to keep the dust down. Just wondering if people still wear masks when wet cutting and grinding. I am a physician and some of the worst lung disease I have seen is from certain occupational exposures. I don't think I have actually seen silicosis (rock dust exposure lung disease) but I have seen a lot of IPF (basically the same thing only we are unsure of the underlying cause). Thanks in advance for your responses.

Absolutely love it. Great job. I like the smaller stones. Some of the cabs just seem to big to wear.

You may have already checked it but make sure your belt is tight. I had a similar problem and tightened the belt and the barrel spun fine. They sell replacement barrels at many sites. I bought an extra barrelfor polishing from the rock shed online. Good luck.

Absolutely love the hearts ed. I am a tumbling beginner but I really want to learn how to make hearts. It is next on my list to try. I am a a cardiologist so your work really hits home with me. I have looked at many of your old heart posts and your work is beautiful. Keep posting and keep me inspired. Thanks, Cardiobill
