What's your preferred mask/glasses combo for extended durations?

I use a DC system and a respirator is not needed. I do use a dust mask along with safety glasses and when turning I use a full face shield.

I use a dust be gone a washable reusable dust mask plus no saftey glasses fog up.

I use Festool, so I generally let the tools handle the dust, but I spent a lot of time under the house installing insulation recently, so I had to find a solution to this problem.

I used an MSA respirator (the basic activated charcoal you get at the hardware store) with a set of goggles with a powered fan I got from a Paintball store. The goggles seemed to have about as much foam for filtering as the low end powered respirators (the Triton and whatever the other one was), and were $70. They’ve got the nicest lens plastic of any goggles I’ve ever used.

I think if I did turning I’d probably spring for one of the good 3M positive pressure systems, but they’re over a thousand bucks.

Like a1Jim said . Dust b gone mask

I use a Triton respirator. It’s an everything-system: hard hat, ear defenders, polycarbonate shield and dust extraction system. It has a belt-mounted battery pack and motor/filter system. The beauty of the Triton, I find, is that it creates a dust-free environment inside the helmet. There is nothing pressing against your face. I’ve used mine for several hours at a shot and it’s very comfortable. I often slip in a pair of airline style earphones into the ear defenders so I can listen to music while I turn and sand. with the combination of the hard hat and the shield, there is full head protection.

You can use antifogger for eye glasses. Soaking the gogles in dish soap like Dawn, may stop the fogging. Been a long time since I had teh problem, can’t remember for sure :-))
