Okay guys, which dust mask do you wear when sanding.....i got those cheap
ones with a rubber band attached to it, that go over your mouth n
nose..........fog my glasses so bad I can,t see.
Got these new type at H.D. that has a exhale port on each side, gonna
try those n see; around $3 something if I remember right. Hate breathing
that junk when sanding or using a hand router.......wonder how a full
plastic face-shield would work.
I have a Jet air filter hanging from the ceiling, but this is close-up
work. They have those big masks that keep out vapor n stuff, I just need
something to keep the dust out when sanding once awhile .

Paul- is that the "Cool Max" mask from AO Safety? If so, which store did
you get them at, because around here in Chicago area, they're packed 3
for between $5 and $10. I use them as filter material to cover a trach,
and with using 2 at a time, it gets expensive to do any sanding or dusty
shop work.
thanks,

Vic:
The information on the box says:
AO Safety
#99485
Sanding, Drywall, & Fiberglass Respirator
Packaged 20 to a box.
Price was around $17.
Here in the Kansas City area, I found them at a local building supply
company called Sutherlands (http://www.sutherlands.com/independence.htm).
I used to work in the Chicagoland area, in Munster, Indiana. Moved back home
here to KC about a year and a half ago. I would be very surprised if Menards
didn't have these masks.
With your trach, it's doubly important for you to wear a mask, since the
natural defenses of your upper airway are bypassed. Hope the information
here helps!

George:
I use the old 3M full-face version with vent fan and filter. It fits and
functions very well even over my beard. The rip-off shields are a good idea,
but they seem to attract dust. The big issue? They are no longer made. I
looked at a new one by a different manufacturer that features a flip-up
shield, and thought it looked good except for a fussy headband attachment.
It runs about $250, but the battery is rechargeable and there are
replacement filters available. Check out Airware America for one, and they
might even have an old 3M left. They've been selling replacement parts for
it.

I use the Dust Be Gone and really like it. My safety glasses don't fog up
when I use it. It's also very comfortable. The company says it filters dust
as fine as 3 microns. Here's the link to the company's web site:

We had to do some serious sanding with the ROS last week in class and I
sneezed all the way home and coughed all night. I still feel like I'm
somewhat congested. There were 6 of us sanding. What a cloud! I need to
get one of those respirator masks. Sanding wood that has been chemically
bleached with oxalic acid or wood that has natural pesticide properties
requires a mask.

I use a Dustfoe 88. http://tinyurl.com/2st43
It was recommended by several others here at the Wreck, and I'm glad I
took their advice. Lightweight, comfortable and much more effective
than the paper thingies. Filters are fairly pricey as you'll see, so
you may want to go through an industrial supply house. (We get ours
for $7.93 for 5, or something like $60 for 50 of them.)

I use an AOSafety respirator. I pull the canisters off and replace with
prefilters. I've been using this for years for wood and drywall sanding to
good effect. I though that the weight would be a problem - it's not as you
have that much less weight within your lungs at days end! The exhale valves
keep the filters dry so clogging is not a problem.

Dustfoe 88. I got one as recommended here and it has to be the BEST
recommendation I ever got from the Wreck. This dust mask is amazing
and a small price to protect your health. If you have a beard or
stubble, it may not be so effective.
George:
The "cheap" masks with a rubber band attached to it do virtually nothing. AO
Safety (I think that's what they are called) makes a HEPA mask (NIOSH N95
certified). I bought a box of 20 of them at a local home improvement store
for like $17. A good buy, IMHO, to protect your lungs from all the extremely
fine wood particles that fly about when you are sanding. And BTW, I'm a
respiratory therapist by trade.

I use the dust respirator from Lee Valley pt. # 22R0502 The filters are
9.95 (Can.) for 5. But if you have a full beard it doesn't matter what you
use short of bringing in pressurized air to a full face mask from an outside
room.

The mask Triton face mask should do the job. I've got one coming, should be
here next week, so if someone will nudge me in about 10 days, I'll try to add a
note on it. They're pricey, but from what I'v heard, they're also worth it.

You can count on it .... a nudge (or two) will be coming your way in a week
and a half. I'm in the process of recovering from a stay in the ICU due to
bilateral pneumonia and am now, of course, really interested in acquiring a
good respirator.
Thanks for the heads-up,
Pete
