Hi there,
I'm looking into getting a 1/2 face dust mask for using while I'm working on the lathe. Right now I just using the el-cheapo disposable ones and I don't have a lot of confidence in them. I would like to get one of the respirator types; you know, rubber mask that fits over your mouth and nose with one or two filters. I know I need something that can be worn under a full face shield/visor and cuts out a great deal of the fine dust but all the literature/web sites I've seen don't mention how fine the dust is that they filter out.
I can't afford a dust control system and I don't want to continue using the paper ones so I've come to the source of all woodturning knowledge to ask, what do you use and are you happy with it?
Thanks,
Carlo.
P.S. Here's a link to the sort of thing I'm thinking of:
