No, he won't and as far as I know, the prefix for complementary functions in
mathematics is not harmful to humans, so any co in his workshop shouldn't
bother him.

Don't believe everything you read online. 3D printers do NOT produce
CO. The most common filament is PLA, which is made from corn - no
hyfrocarbons anywhere in its chain. The next most common filament is
ABS, which doesn't smell that great when hot but it's not a source of
significant CO.

The laser cutter doesn't produce CO itself, but you do need to know
what the materials you cut are made from. Same kind of intelligent
caution that requires a mask, long sleeves and gloves when cutting
pressure treated wood.

I was thinking of Electric Comet. If he stops breathing he won't die of
CO poisoning... right?

FWIG, it wasn't CO.

Burning wood?

If you burn edges that much, it's time to set up your saw better.

are you contradicting your self or do i misunderstand

or are you talking semantics

bullets kill people not guns

simpler just to stay well ventilated and not risk death

i cut pressure treated mud sill in tshirt and shorts and no gloves or
mask

have never worn gloves while using the skilsaw
