Yeah, their masks can't seal at all. The only shitty thing about beards is not being able to use normal PPE and needing forced air systems like PAPR's at 10x the cost + added bulk / inconvenience. I wonder if the Army makes kit accommodations for this?

​

EDIT: N/M, looks like you can get forced air modules for normal respirators/gas masks, seems like it shouldn't be an issue then?

Personally I've been looking at this baby for some time, but haven't taken the plunge yet. Anyone here have any experience with them? I know Alec Steele swears by them.

I'd recommend a fresh air respirator hood if you have a large beard. If it's just some scruff their full face respirators work just fine when adjusted and fit tested.

The face shield u/givemehellll linked is a great one, and as it sits further out in front of your face than most, it stands the greatest chance of accommodating a respirator. (I think u/vikingcode1 took a picture one time showing that it did work, sort of).

However, most turners (me included) don't really wear both at once. Use the face shield during cutting and shaping operations (you should be producing mostly chips at this point, not hazardous dust), then swap it out for the respirator when it comes time to sand. Better yet (or in addition to)- get a dust collector or one of those cyclone garbage can attachments for your shop vac and collect the dust at the source while sanding.

They do make powered respirators (PAPR) that combine a face shield with a filter that maintains positive pressure by blowing filtered air over your face, but those are pretty expensive, the cheapest being something like this, going on up to much nicer ones. (I have the Trend and honestly, I think it sucks. It's way too top heavy, and has a fussy charger that has to be monitored carefully to avoid ruining the battery, and it's not NIOSH approved or meeting any other safety standard or spec that tells what it is doing for sure. I can't recommend it honestly).

If you work for someone, see if you can get 'em to spring for a powered air purifying respirator. Used one at my last job, absolutely fantastic for filtering out particles. This particular kit doesn't work for fumes from spraying anything, but for solid matter it can't be beat. If you need it for vapors or chemical loads the step up from that, TR-600 works for those as well.

When it comes to comfortable long term wear, as well as good eye and ear protection you can't beat this:

Yes, its expensive but its a lot less than a visit to the doctor for any health problems.

u/DanceswithWolves54 · 1 pointr/woodworking

I imagine one of the positive pressure ones would work well. What they do is filter a stream of air and blow it onto the visor of a face mask, from inside. They cover your whole face, and gaps in the seal are nullified by the airflow going out of them. Unfortunately, cost is a big problem with these. The lower end trend one is ~$350-400, and if you want to go to truly the top of the line, the [3M Versaflo] (http://www.amazon.com/3M-Versaflo-Heavy-Industry-TR-300-HIK/dp/B007PB4C38/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458777520&sr=8-1&keywords=3m+versaflo) is of essentially unbeatable quality. These might be a little more of an investment than you were looking for, though.
