Respirator - 3M 6200 | |||
Like most hobbyists I know I have been using disposable face masks whenever I have been doing enough grinding to create an appreciable amount of dust in the air. The reason I don't use it for small jobs is basically because I don't like wearing them it just seems like too much effort to put it on for a few seconds of grinding. The disposable masks really don't fit me well. I have never been able to get a good seal, especially around my nose where the air I breath drags the dust in with it. Given the amount of dust I have breathed in over the years it might be a bit late in the day but I decided I would buy a proper respirator and give that a try. WOW! Why didn't I do that sooner. Unbelievably comfortable. Easy to breath with. While the seal is still not perfect (I have the devils own job finding a divers mask to fit as well) it is better than the disposables. I found that is was so comfortable that I didn't bother taking it off when I had small jobs to do in between the grinding. That is really saying something because I usually can't wait to rip the disposables off. If you are serious about protecting your lungs then I highly recommend getting a proper respirator. |
