For knifemakers

[hso]

I'm not endorsing the product even though a knifemaker buddy of mine loves his, but this is the least expensive powered filtering facepiece with replaceable dust cartridges out there.

My buddy got to the point where he couldn't stand grinding micarta and gave this a try. His comment, "That's the first time in 20 years I don't smell that damned old micarta".

Wow, that's pretty cool.

While it isn't as effective as an industrial PAPR with combo filter it is a handy compact hobbyist's powered dust mask without any hoses to get in the way or get tangled in machinery.

Make sure you sign up for their mailings and e-mail. They are quite generous with discount coupons, sometimes up to 50% off.

I demonstrate woodturning for them and they are a good company.
