Dust masks

[Sapper]

Hi, need to get myself a good. quality dust mask, any recommendations please

Moldex half mask ones with the two round cartridges. You can use just the dust filters or ABEC ones for organic and non organic vapours, for paint spraying etc.

I also like the way the straps work, you can pop the top one off your head but the mask stays around your neck. Easy to put on and off.
3m also make loads of nice ones.

I've used two half masks, the 'GVS Elipse' and 'Trend Air Stealth'. Both fit well and seem to do a good job - they cut out that lovely smell of fresh cut wood Of the two, the Trend fits me slightly better, but of course your mileage may vary. I wear glasses and both masks are fine, neither mask mists my glasses if I fit the mask right.

Compared to many, they are cheap, but I've not used expensive ones to compare or know 'what I'm missing'!

Whilst not answering your actual question, I also use an overhead air filter (from Axminster) and this does an excellent job of keeping dust in the air under control. I usually use this as I leave the workshop rather whilst in there.
