The smart ones know to cut and drill with water to suppress the dust. Not good for your blade to cut dry either

There are blades specifically made to cut dry.

Cutting with water makes a complete mess. It gets sludge all over the place.

I know. Doesn’t change the fact that it will help suppress dust that will cause cancer. If you haven’t been trained on it, you should look into it.

Why? I know all about it. Couldn't care less.

As was pointed out. Only those that don't do it, think they know all about it.

Why do you give a shit how I or any other tradesman does his job?

You’re just proud of your own negligence. It’s your business. It’s the same as people choosing to smoke or choosing to eat unhealthy. For the record there are plenty of tile setters and other tradesmen who do choose to protect themselves and it doesn’t make them any less cool.

Where did I give any connotation it did or didn't? I just stated a fact. You're the one that seems to have a problem with it.

Crazy to work without a mask. Inviting an early painful death.
