Grinding Aluminum and Titanium, Respirator?

[VultureParade]

Hey everyone,

I need a respirator before working with this stuff, right? Any particular ones you could recommend?

It's a good idea to wear a respirator when grinding anything, as well as when working with solvents, epoxy etc.
I use the replaceable cartridge 6000 series 3-M model, with the cotton prefilters, and adapters.
You need the cartridges rated for organic vapor AND formaldehyde if you gring any man made handle materials.
3-M Cartridge # = 6005 .

There are many different respirators on the market, that just happens to be what I'm using at the moment, and they are readily available.
