So.... I noticed on the stewmac page when they demonstrate their big buffer that Dan opens an exhaust fan before he starts...
I’m new to these things so I don’t know, but is that necessary ? What is he pulling out ?

It's not necessary but buffers are really messy especially when you are braking in the buffs. Even if you have dust collection alway wear a dust mask when buffing!

Brown Lung (Byssinosis) used to be a pretty common occupational disease in the textile and papermaking industries. Exposure to cotton dust isn't healthy. Buffing the occasional guitar may not be a serious issue, but the dust makes a mess, and irritates your eyes and nose.
