Awfully useful, but awfully dusty! If we want something like it to<br>
play nicely with electronics, food, and the occasional clean freak,<br>
some kind of dust collection would be excellent-slash-mandatory. Also<br>
the belts and discs need periodic replacement (especially if abused)<br>
and if the bandsaw is any example that may be an issue.<br>
