Saw that Rockler has on sale the Trend Air Shield Pro for $339. I asked several questions on the site and got some decent answers and some stupid answers! I was wondering about the weight, noise level, if the filters could we cleaned/vacuumed/washed, how long the filters last, etc. At $55 for a pair of replacement filters, that seems quite steep to me. Now if the original filters last 5 years, then maybe that's not such a bad deal. When I saw the sale, it reminded me of how much I dislike the sweaty face issues when turning under a mask. I'm currently using the Elipse P100 mask that Highland woodworking sells (link http://www.highlandwoodworking.com/elipse-p100-dust-mask.aspx ). I'm generally happy with the performance of the mask, but darn that contact surface makes me sweat, even in an air controlled shop!
Maybe Coleman will pipe in and comment if Klingspor will match Rockler's price, or maybe the DQ status will apply. The other thought was to wait for the Extravaganza. I don't recall what these were selling for last year, but seems to me it was around the same price.
Looking for any reviews, comments, thoughts, etc.
Thanks!
Michael
