So my question is: Does anyone have a problem with static when not using an antistatic system and if so, where are you?
I've seen static problems when working in Park City, Utah in the Winter. Average high temperature in the Winter is 22 degrees F and VERY dry. When you try to warm it up to 70 degrees F inside it can be nosebleed dry. It is so dry that you have to turn down the thermostat and add humidity in the house or you will wake up unable to breathe. I see static problems in that dust will stick inside the hoses from static when sanding and even the track saw would have issues when run a lot. I was never shocked by a power tool but you can sure shuffle your feet on the "right" kind of carpet and zap yourself.
Funny thing is I bought the Midi because it and a few systainers on top fit inside a big yacht I'm working on and surrounded by the Pacific Ocean is the last place anything is ever dry enough to make static.
My environment of Southern California is not even similar to the Mid-West or New England. Do you guys get zapped in the Winter inside heated houses and shops?
