Safety Week 2009 #1: Ep. 87 - Dust in Time

Blog entry by thewoodwhisperer posted 183 days ago 663 reads 0 times favorited 9 comments Add to Favorites Watch
no previous part Part 1 of Safety Week 2009 series no next part

The most common topic request for Safety Week was dust and respirators. So here’s a quick review of the dust and fumes that can make our lives miserable in the shop, and why we need respirators for pro-active protection. And below you will find a links to the exact respirator setup I like to use: the 3m 7500 Series.

Some convenient links if you are looking to purchase this respirator system: Small, Medium, Large. And don’t forget the organic vapor cartridges%, the upgraded pink filters% and the special adapter%.

A usual, your videos are great. I finally picked up a respirator several months ago and don’t want the paper cups anymore. Thanks for all the great safety tips.

Very good video. Most of us don’t always use respirators in the shop, and it helps to have someone like the woodwhisper remind us.

Excellent advice.The N95 masks just aren’t very comfortable, the respirator is the way to go. I have the same respirator but use a P100 cartridge. It is the next step up from the pink ones but then again I work in the 3M plant that makes them. Definetly a quality product! Excellent Review!

I’m going to order this. I’d been looking for a while and these seem to have readily available replacements. It will be my only dust collection until I get my garage wire with additional capacity. I keep popping a breaker when I run my DC with a table saw. Thanks for taking the time to explain all this.
