does this leave sawdust or wood chips,thank you

More chips than dust. I was not very impressed with this when working with hardwoods - the skipping is a problem. On softer wood it does great.

yes it leaves dust but its seems to be mircoscopic but wear a dust mask. Seems to cut forever as long as you cut wood only and not into metal. I totally back this tool and its expectations.

It throws out both wood chips and sawdust, but, more of the chips. It also depends on the hardness and grain of the wood. I find this tool can be very dangerous on hard woods as it can skip off the work piece if you are not paying attention to the grain. It is a wonderful tool if used correctly.

Both..but more wood chips. I wear face shield, respirator and gloves when using the turbo plan.

I have put wood chips in soaked in water, wrapped in foil. I place them at the far back center of the grill. It actually works pretty good.

Sure does, it chip hard wood like oak too but the blade worn out fast. Chip Plywood, mdf...no problems

I tried to use wood dust for a stove top smoker. It didn't fall through, but it didn't burn either.

Dust collection works ... Meaning it captures some sawdust .. But let's face it saw dust is very fine and unless you attach a vacuum system most of the fine dust will just blow out

It has two places inside for pellets. Wood chips would not fit unless they were very small.

I find it to be very effective with kiln-dried wood which has considerable dust. I use mine mostly on green wood though which has little dust compared to kiln-dried wood, and it tends to clog once in awhile with the longer, damp shavings - quick & easy to clean out though :-)

As with so many things, it depends on what kind of wood you use. It does nothave a large firebox, so requires regular feeding. Yes chips cut off a log workfine.

Does very well with hardwood -- almost no chipout. Plywood is a little more difficult, so I sometimes score the wood with the blade set very low before cutting the full depth.

i don't have an exact hole but pretty small. i think both sawdust and chips would stay in the tray.

Absolutely not, no sawdust........unless you purchased used, as far as Styrofoam packing Thats right that is how festool ships there kapex. Good luck.

No. Mines didn't have any grass or dust etc In it. I just took some off and whipped it up and put some essential oil in it. You can also use it as is if you can deal with the smokey smell.

I used it rotted wood and the wood soaked it up almost immediately. I don't believe it would work if mixed with sawdust as it would inhibit the absorption into the wood.

I have found it absorbs nicely into any wood (i.e., hickory, ash, maple, bamboo) after just a few minutes. And it leaves the wood looking new, young, healthy. I wash the boards after I use them, but not after I oil them.

we also had problems with our thin board. this maple end board has not chiped or split on us at all and we use it to open large hard vegetables. I have sanded the top once and added oil once sense we purchased it. we only use it for vegetables and fruit cutting , no meats

I wouldn't want to trust hardwood pellets around my food unless I could be certain of their contents. I use apple wood chips from a farmer who probably just chipped up all his pruning scraps and bagged them.

I cannot respond to Mr. Cast Iron, but at least when sanding wood the general consensus is that none of the small sanders do well with sawdust collection. On the other hand it is supposed to be a finish sander, so the amount of dust should be minimal.
