    I just did a quick search for powered air respirators at Rockler and they have one that gets good reviews for only US$72.99 and Woodcraft also have a positive air respirator for only US$70.99. If the yanks can do it, why can't we get the price down for such an important safety device. Yes they do have a bigger market but it just got bigger with Australians buying because they are too expensive here.

    It was a long time ago that I read the webpost: someone rigged up a faceshield with a 'skirt' to go under the chin and up the face sides; attached to the plastic headshell a hose that went through the roof with fresh air pumped in by means of a scavenged fan. A mesh filter as IanW suggests could be handy unless you have a taste for chewing flies or spiders.

    Drawback is obvious; you're tethered by the hose......
    I had one several years ago, it used a duct fan kit that cost about $130 at the time, came with 6" flexible duct that I hung from the roof near the lathe.

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.
