Guitar is almost done. Had a few runs with the oil, probably putting on heavier costs than I should. I sanded out what I could. It is what it is. Lots of lessons learned with building up Tru oil. I will say with 20 or so coats it is very thick, a lot thicker than I imagined.
Waiting two weeks for it to cure now and will post the final results after assembly.

If you can afford festool, and you're worried about your lungs, get a positive air pressure respirator.
They cover your whole head. Air comes from inside (via a hepa filtered pack on your waist), and no dust gets in.

Expensive, yes, but this, or a similar product, will give you the best protection vs dust.
That said, unless you are doing constant dusty work (machine sawing, routing, planing, sanding) of materials generating fine dust all day, you might be ok compromosing and using a 3M canister respirator <$100 + cartridges. It will give you 99.999% protection while you wear it. Then get normal dust collection / shop air cleaner if you're just a hobbyist.
Leave the office indoors.

Both this and the festool are excellent. Regardless of sander, us the 3M Xtract 2 (cubitron) sandpaper. It's rediculously better than anything else
