Just treat these machines with a bit of respect, wear some eye protection and you should be OK. BobH So is copper worse than other metals in this respect?

We have a friend, car body repairs, has 'ingested' so much steel that it has given him problems with the brain and now has a magnetic filter on one of his arteries. Iron (Steel) generally festers out, brass and copper are much slower to decompose and can travel inwards instead of outwards - that's not so good.
