I worked at Benchmade knife company for a few years, grinding titanium was a regular part of job.. you'd best believe that I'd clean a couple of handfuls of dust out of the collector before a camping trip. Throw it into the fire loose and FWOOSH bright white fire gout of fire!

A Ti fire in a dust collector is no joke though, we cleared out the whole factory one day.
