- This video is from my practical use experience with this PAPR system and the pros and cons I've found with it.
I purchased this Miller Electric brand Powered Air Purifying Respirator system about 6 months ago. I do a large amount of grinding and sanding in my job as a full-time blacksmith and knife maker, so I've had the opportunity to put this product through the paces.

I watched this when it posted a year ago with casual interest, but now it makes sense for me to have one (actually it did then!) So thanks for your review.
You bet, thanks
I think these types of respirator are really the best way by far to upgrade your health and safety gear to be honest. thanks for sharing
I bought this at bakersgas.com, they seem to have the best price. This is not a sponsorship, I bought it from there with my own money so just sharing it with you.
I've wanted one of these ever since I saw them a few years ago. They seem to[ be the golden ticket for grinding
Congrats on 100K!
Thanks for the review
Bicycle helmet foam pads might help with the head band. I use them on my welding helmet.
thats a good idea thanks
We use the 3M PAPR masks, I can't remember which model, but I'll never go back to any other filter half mask set up. They hose and pack can get in the way in some tight welding area, but when that happens I just remove the belt pack and set it beside me. No better investment for tour health.
I use a room filtering system from the 3d handyman. He's got a channel here on RUclips. It works great to help with shop dust. I have to change my respirator filters way less often.
I’ve got the old Triton brand powered respirator. Bought it in around 2007 ( they went bust in the 2008 GFC). Eventually the batteries became useless, so i rewired it to use the same batteries as my cordless tools - works great to this day. Takes standard round filter cartridges. The only problems are the weight on the neck when you are looking somewhat downward all day, and that you can’t open the visor to get a good look at the work you are doing.
I mostly wear a Resp-O-Rator these days with safety goggles and/or a lexan visor. The only problems with that are the pinched nose ( not covered by the design) which I fixed by gluing on the nose cover of an old snorkel and wearing foam earplugs up each nostril ( such a great look😝), and that the ‘out-vent’ points down at your work, and you frequently have condensate from your exhaled breath dripping onto your project. I do a lot of relatively intricate wood projects, and didn’t really like this, so I’ve taken to cutting up the old used filters and taping them around the ‘exhaust’ to catch the drips.
Awesome I ask what the mask was on the last video and you give me an in depth video explaining the mask. THANK YOU!!!
Thinking about one of these for some of my nasty mold inspections
Yeah, mold is not to be messed with!
Would decontaminating the hood and delivery hose, etcetera be a hassle?
@@FireCreekForge Decontaminating the hood would be achieved with a simple damp wipe. I wouldn't even worry about that. The most concerning thing is just breathing in a bad environment. I ended up buying an open box set for $800. Looking forward to getting it.
Thanks for the video. I have a setup like this for welding. I have the same issues and I find the buttons be in the back to be a bit awkward. Agree on everything else about the filters being expensive. Also is not very pleasant if you have gas if you know what I mean
As far as the comfort wear a welders hat underneath. Great write up.
I dont have a beard or glasses, but wearing face masks never seemed to fully keep out the dust. I use a PAPR (Draeger) and gotta say i will never go back to the face masks. PAPRs are a game changer.
You got a pretty good beard filter going to.
hi did you ever nickel plated something by yourself to then use it in a canister damast? that would be a cool project?
I totally agree with good eye protection but I’ve never seen anyone wear a full respirator for grinding metal.
Could you put the unit outside of your grinding room and pipe in fresh air? Maybe get creative with a new vacuum hose and extend the length if need be?
For bearded dudes, the helmet, mask, and under-the-face "seal" is a must. Beards collect dust. Take your face mask off, and you're breathing in dust from your beard every time you wag your chin.
I know one of these is cheeper than lung cancer, but damn that upfront price keeps me putting off getting one…
Like, I want one for sure, but it costs more than I make in a month these days!
What would you recommend for someone that does woodworking, has a large beard and thus a PAPR is almost required, and has a fixed income below the poverty line? Hard question, right? idk what to do. I don't need a face shield as I have that, but a cheap papr doesn't seem to exist. It's either Nuclear + chemical + whatever particle resistant or nothing. I'm just trying to not breathe dust. /rant ANY input would be greatly appreciated... from anyone.
I used to use the Resp-O-Rator but they haven't been available in a few years. If they ever come back it's a good product.
Dislike !!!
