For knifemakers

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".

Shoot, I might live long enough to be a nusiance to my kids when they're adults after all! ;)

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.

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