Comment on I've spent 3 days working in dust tearing down this bathroom
Badabinski@kbin.earth 10 hours agoI very much want a PAPR as well. I seem to recall that there were some units that came out of COVID that are somewhat cheaper, at least.

I used one for welding in my previous job. It has the additional benefit of keeping your face cool by blowing fresh air onto it and being a full face it protects your eyes too nor does it fog up.

I hadn't even thought of that! I did some oxyacetylene welding many moons ago and I remember the heat being absolutely intolerable at times.
I do machining as a hobby now and I'd really like to filter out cutting oil smoke. My biggest fear using a PAPR is my shop is the hose—I'd need to find a way to keep it REALLY close to my body. I don't want to get pulled into my lathe face-first.

One like this might work if you don’t want to mess with hoses.
