My shiny new r-tech already has a fine layer of grinding dust on top of it
Hopefully, when it moves off the welding table and onto it's custom-built welder trolley (which is, ironically, the source of much of the dust) it will be out of the direct line-of-fire.
So my question is; do you actively protect your welder from grinding dust?
I'm thinking (don't mock me) of fitting "curtains" to the trolley that I can drop down when the welder isn't in use to cover off the front and both sides (the trolley has a roof over the welder). Obviously, I wouldn't have the curtains down when the unit is switched on - air flow and all that.
Am I over-thinking this, or is this a reasonable plan? Space is tight in the garage so it's not really an option to delineate areas for welding vs grinding.
