Strange you posted this, Ed. I was thinking about this yesterday when
looking at the graphite dust settled on the back wall of my shop. I
wonder how much you need to be exposed to even as a hobbyist before
it becomes a problem. Is a few clubs a day a problem? Once or twice a
week?
Thanks for the note and link to Bill Pentz site.

This post was prompted by a question in another forum about dust collection.
FIRST - Graphite dust in the air is a bad thing. A great solution
to keep the dust out of the air when cutting shafts is a wet tile
saw.
This one has gotten good reviews:

SECOND - Planning a dust collection system is a serious business.
This site is an AMAZING resource (John are you listing?)

The site is geared toward woodworking, but contains more information
than you thought possible about dust collection. It covers
everything from health concerns and planning through built it
yourself dust collection projects. Do yourself a favor and spend
some time looking through it.
