Best Dust Mask for Your Woodworking Workshop (P2 Disposable vs Half Mask vs Full Face Respirator)

Описание: Woodworking safety, everybody's favourite topic! ... Ok, there is no way to swing that, it is really right up there with sanding 😅 While I'm not a safety nut and being a novice probably do a lot of dodgy things on this front (have you seen my table saw?!), there is one area my other life as a chemist has prepared me well for... Lung protection. We'll cover P2 / N95, Half-Mask (like the Trend or Sundstrom), Filter types and what those numbers all mean and most importantly cover the correct fitting of the masks to protect yourself from sawdust.

Personal Protective Equipment, or PPE, is the first line of defence for the woodworker and doubly important if you don't have a proper dust extraction system. While I'd recommend a mask to ALL woodworkers regardless of your piped HPLV or LPHV setups, it is basically mission-critical if like me, all you have is a shop vac.

This won't be the most interesting video you watch this week, but it may be the most important. If you get questions, drop me a comment and share this around, particularly to new woodworkers... or old stubborn ones who don't like change 🤣
