hawkeye10 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Dave I bought this mask and it filters down to 1.0 micron. As I understand it 1.0 micron is pretty good. Read about it and see what you think. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Silver-Comfy-Mask-by-Breathe-Healthy-For-Dust-Pollen-Allergy-Relief-/232146511014?hash=item360d02a4a6:g:nM4AAOSwNRdX7APN Dave Monk and trackman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jscottj Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Check out the Eclipse P100 mask that Sheila Landry has posted about. I think I am going to order 1 for myself. Peachtree and Woodcraft both have them. I watched a YouTube video on them also. They are supposed to work well with glasses.

amazingkevin Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 It's time for me to buy a good dust mask. Any opinions appreciated. dave get one that has the valve on it so when you exhale it comes out freely and not restricted like going back thru the filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Scroller Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Here are a few tips I learned along the way. Number 1 If it is not comforatble you won't wear it so you wasted your money. Number 2 If your glasses fog the mask is not fitting right and dust is getting in. I wear this one. It works for me. And the actual filters are replaceable. For the record I do not have a beard or mustache which will make a difference in what mask you use. https://smile.amazon.com/3M-Facepiece-Respirator-6291-Particulate/dp/B000FTEDMM/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1483970291&sr=8-7&keywords=respirator+mask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capcrnch Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I wear a 3m half respirator and after the first minute or so, I forget that I have it on. I don't know how it would be with glasses, but I doubt it would work because of the nose piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how it would be with glasses, but I doubt it would work because of the nose piece. I wear glasses and the 3M half respirator is fine. I do find I need to take the glasses off, put the respirator on and then put the glasses back on. capcrnch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I have to buy cheaper one. They work ok need to save some money for a good one. It costs very little more to go first class. That's what dad always told me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
