Hello everyone,

I have noticed that when I do a lot of sanding, and also when I do any turning, my eyes are getting very irritated. Does anyone know of a good and comfortable type of dust goggle or other type of sealed eye protection? I do wear safety glasses and a dust mask or respirator when sanding or turning, so should I consider a full face respirator? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would HIGHLY consider the Trend AirShield "Pro" mask. Worth every penny when you are talking health!

Re: Dust Goggles?

I'd suggest looking at http://www.uvex.us/uvex.aspx

They have a category called Goggles, in the Product Selector, you can select Dust as one of your options.

One word of thoughtness, I'd stand near a fan before taking them off. I recently was doing sanding with some goggles, took them off and poof, a small cloud of dust.....

I have a new pair of Ultra-spec 2001 OTG (Over-the-Glass) safety glasses from them that I love.

Re: Dust Goggles?

Thanks Jim!

I used your link to find out about their new product (released in June) called the UVEX Seismic. It is basically a pair of safety glasses with a foam seal around the eye sockets. I ordered a pair for $10 and I will let everyone know if they are any good once I get them. Here is a link to the spec sheet:

I believe WC sells Uvex stuff, and has those foam-lined goggles too (but don't quote me!)
