I use mine for everything, grinding, painting, welding, bead and sand blasting, even vaccuming the garage out. The more you use it the easier it gets, it was about $1000.
The last job I worked at I had to wear a lot of different respirators, I'll take the supplied air any day over a respirator.
The thing about a respirator is you need some training on how to get a decent fit and also trained on how to wear it in a working environment, theres more to this respirator business then buying one over the counter and wearing it.
They don't make a negative pressure respirator that will protect from silica sand and some paints.
Eighteen years off an on wearing respirators, no thanks, supplied air paper type hood, I love it.
When I work on this restoration I work clean.
when we did welding and grinding we would take hi and low volume air samples, then send it into chemistry, if you ever saw a printout of what you were breathing, its a real eye opener.
