Reply:You're not gonna jeopardize anyone.  Switch to 2% lanthanated (if you believe in the a Thoriated hazard thing) and grind outside or over a garbage can if you're worried.   I get no sparks from my tungsten grinder, just some dust.  How much dust can you possibly be making?

Reply:I bet chem sharp is burning more fumes than grinding.  Yeah , on my grinding wheel I believe most of the dust is from the wheel since its the wheel that came with the grinder.  Sometimes I go at it when I contaminate the tungsten.  I know, I should just break it and start fresh.  I'm usually sharpening about 20-30 at a time on both sides.  I started doing it outside as someone suggested, it definitely helps.  Some day I'll get a diamond wheelMiller 350PMiller 30AHobart trekHTP Invertig 221
