Thread: Anyone used these face shields with dust filter?

I used to do a lot of woodturning and the only real solution is a helmet that is pressurised with either a hip or remote mounted filter.
I became affected by the dust despite one of the above and also tried opening doors and even outside with a large industrial fan blowing the dust away but eventually had to stop due to the dust affecting me.
They aren't cheap but then we can't live without lungs either.
If you know any professional welders you may be able to borrow or hire a fume/dust helmet for a one off job as most welders these days use a positive pressure helmet.

I'm going to get one of the hobbyair respirators before I paint a car again. I'll use it for everything really, sanding, paitning, and kind of "thing" that creates dust. unfortunately they are not cheap, but far, far cheaper than a supplied air mask that requires a big compressor with lots of filtration on the air.

Hobbyair-Respirators

you can buy cheap belt mounted rechargable air fed masks on ebay these days that would be good for dust. they are no good for paint fumes though as they are using the local air, not remote air.
