Title: Dust mask evaluations ???
Post by: Dakota Saw Dust on November 07, 2011, 12:53:15 pm

I'm very interested in your evaluation of the two masks you've brought to our attention.  The Totobomast sounds most efficient but at cost of having to replace filter.  I like being able to wash the dust-be-gone  mask. Is the "tighter " mask really that more efficient ???  Thanks Brian

Hi Brian, it all boils down to the level of protection that you want. The dust be gone filter is less efficient but it's more comfortable and easier to use. My strategy is actually use both of them. I plan to use the Totobobo for when I empty my dust collector or have high dust in the air. When I'm simply scrolling I like to use the dust be gone. If I could only have one I guess I would go with the Dust be gone.
