Bought new router, for wood that is

Hehe, seems i need to make my own carrying case, at same fashion as my DSO: pretty pricey, locally around 70€, but at least router is safe if i drop it...

The data on cancer are pretty mixed: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/pel88/wooddust.html I would suggest common sense protective measures as you would use for any nuisance dust.

Cedar (and maybe other aromatic woods) may present a special risk of acquired alveloar proteinosis (aka diffuse alveolar proteinosis), which may be due to an allergic reaction.

Yeah, i have minor lack of alpha-antirypsine (affects protection for lungs and liver, skin colour and so on....even my eye balls are yellowish at morning, many confuse and think i have some sort of liver-problem)
so i use breathing mask pretty often, ecpecially when sanding, but not when ''roughing'' like routing.

Okay managed to test it today, and i'm pleased to it. Sound level is pretty low even on full speed, doesn't kick due soft-start.
Power cord is pretty long, better that way...
Easy to handle by free hand, even it's top-heavy.
