    Especially don't use angle grinder in living room. lol Maybe you missed outdoors with a fan blowing dust and fumes away! I plan on living a long life as well, no middle something here and told recently by my MD "don't know what your doing but keep it up! Don't recommend breathing any kind of dust or fumes. Plan your work and work your plan. Smarter not harder, starting with continue to learn as you work my friend. Seriously outdoors with a fan is taking health concerns very serious and wouldn't do it any other way so far. I do keep an open mind about various techniques. When all your going to take is 1 to 3 items from a PCB, my prefered method is Mechanic's and others chisel method. Even that method has it's risk if careless. I haven't tried the "sand bath method", but plan to do so, just working out some of my safety concerns with that setup. I have tried de-soldering indoors, shop with a vent hood. Found fumes to be overwhelming when doing a lot of low level boards. If I had a down draft table that is the method I would prefer. How exactly do you remove the transistors and IC's doing as many as you do? You can't honestly be cutting them at the rate you quoted, can you? If so your the best. lol

    I agree 330 is a lot for 1 day. But I also am leary of using a grinder, even in a ventilated area. I prefer the (wear thick leather gloves) smash and grab method.
