Default True Confessions: Saftey gear

What eye safety do you use?
What lung safety do you use?

I think it is really a bigger question. I hate to admit it but I have
just never fully solved this issue. I always wear hearing protection,
usually ear muffs. I mostly ware lung protection but for years I have
just used crappy cloth dusk masks from HF or HD. I always fog up my
eye protection so it is always the first to go. Unless I have my face
in router spew, I usually just have lung and eye protection.

I probably need an actual respirator that seals better and won't fog
my safety specs. Just looking for your input.



I use noise canceling head phones for the router and planer, most every
thing else is relatively quiet.

I use a dust collector for the coarse stuff and the Festool vac with HEPA
filter for the fine stuff when sanding, cutting Domino mortises and probably
the TS75 track saw.

I use prescription polycarbonate lens in my daily glasses.

I now more often use my eyes and head to protect my digits.
