Joey Posted May 25, 2013 Report Posted May 25, 2013 Hi, Does anyone use the subject respirator while woodworking? Anything you would be willing to share would be just great. Thanks, joey Quote
amazingkevin Posted May 25, 2013 Report Posted May 25, 2013 I've never tryed one but watchs ,face masks and anything else that hinders my scrolling ease is not acceptable to me.i just sit in front of a fan outside ,but when inside i sit next to the a.c. intake with the paper filters and there's no dust .

jrpeteo Posted May 26, 2013 Report Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) I use an aquarium pump attached to the extended blower hose. A shop vac tube on top and another under the saw, to suck the dust away. Shop vac is in the next room operated by remote, so no noise. A 20" box fan just off to the side blowing away from the saw (with a furnace filter attached to it). And a dust mask. Too much, maybe, maybe not. Edited May 26, 2013 by jrpeteo Travis 1 Quote
Scrappy Scroller Posted May 26, 2013 Report Posted May 26, 2013 I wear an enclosed (non powered) mask sometimes, as certain woods dust, can be harmful. this site lists a few. http://www.ubeaut.com.au/badwood.htm Gary Quote
Joey Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Posted May 27, 2013 Thanks all for getting back to me. The web-site suggested was no help. I will continue looking, if I find out anything I will let you know. Joey Quote
