Hey Everyone,

I need some advice, Several other wooodworkers, & turners, have told me
I should look into a powered respirator. I have heard good things about
the Triton brand. I was wondering are there other brands out there to
consider? And what if any certain features should I be looking for? My
main use will be for woodturning, the ocassional wodworking such as
building a bookcase or two. But mainly woodturning, I already have a
dust collector, should be called a chip collector. Still get dust all
over the garage. I dont know if it matter but I also do turn some
acrylic and corian. Any suggestions / advice would eb appreciated.

Due to some recent price cuts the Triton is a good deal, however I
don't need a hard-hat. So I went with the Trend (available from a number
of sources in the US, I don't know about Canada). Since it is a British
product, I guess it shouldn't be too hard to find.
I really like it since I have a beard (also true for the Triton) and
it allows that, which isn't true for the cartridge masks. They also
don't have a face shield (almost a requirement for turners)
