Triton Manufacturing have just released a respirator (

)Very effective, and cheaper than the other popular powered respirators. Abit awkward to put on and would prefer that it was quieter, but otherwisevery happy with it.What is also a bonus that is not immediately obvious, is that because itcovers the whole head not just the nose breathing area, you feel clean afterusing it (no dust on the face hair etc.)No connection with the company, just a satisfied user.Cheers from 'Down Under'.******************************************** ,-._|\ L.

Hi Peter,

When woodturning was my hobby, the 3M Power Visor

was my favorite tool for avoiding dust as it protected my eyes as well as my lungs from dust (in addition to impact protection) and is something you might not appreciate until you have experienced it for a while. I used my eyeglasses all the time with it.

Now that I am doing this full time, I use the 3M Airstream.

I'll second the above. I just purchased one today and tried for about

30 minutes when I arrived home. I wear eyeglasses and use a face shield (never could get goggles to work over my "specs". Worked like a charm. I had to spend a couple minutes fiddling with the straps to get a good fit but after a couple minutes I'd almost forgottten I had it on (OK, not really. It is a mask sticking on the front of your face)

I use the Dustfoe 88 too. After every sanded item I take the filter out and flick it with my finger. I still haven't had to replace the filter.
