i just bought one too, i use a #5 up to 30 amps, and at least a dust mask if you dont care or better a hepa, stainless steel is the real problem, chromium and nickel are unhealthy things to breath in. please note I am a newbie, I am NOT a pro. This is just based on what i have learned before from this newsgroup and other online sources.
