New tools

[JTTHECLOCKMAN]

I was watching This Old House yesterday and they touched on a subject that came up here not long ago in this thread. 

I had mentioned the health hazards to cutting stone, brick and other materials. In this segment they showed some new tools hitting the market made by Bosch. It is a vac attachment to their drills that drill masonry work and also for cutting concrete. They mentioned the hazardous dust that has been a huge problem in the industry. As I said I saw this everyday on the job sites being in construction. Everything from fire retardant being sprayed on steel beams to routing sheetrock for our electrical boxes, to drilling and cutting masonary. The ceiling tiles being layed in and cut with the fiberglass in them all hazards. 

I bring this back up because the attachments used on these drill may or at least looks like they may be used on a scrollsaw with some imagination. I do not have any direct links but if you look up Bosch drill attachments you may find them. I have never seen these before so maybe tool companies are now starting to pay more attention to dust control.
