How important is it to have decent dust extraction on a bench polishing wheel? I normally use my neighbours, but I really want to get my own sorted but I don't think there will be room for an extractor (especially now I have my durston where I was planning on having my polisher.

I've taken to using platinum blue and white on a small mop (which is amazing stuff!) but it does worn me that in California it is known to be a cancer hazard.


Could I get away with using a dust mask and nowt else?
