I bought this respirator here on bladeforums during a batch sale a few years ago, and shamefully it just sat in a box until now.

I've tried to find those old threads but haven't been successful. I really want to use it, but have no idea what filters to buy - can anyone help identify the respirator and point me to what filters would be best for knifemaking purposes?

Thanks in advance! - Kent

Had to dig super deep the last half-hour. This is an MSA twin respirator that takes screw-on filters. I was able to find combination organic vapor/particle filters on the auction site. All good now.

What's the number cut off on the left ?
------204-3



Google searching on the lens number

Shows it's probably a MSA Mine Safety Appliance

MSA Ultra-Twin Respirator Mask

Now find a speciality safety supplier that carries MSA

They can verify the make and model

they can set you up with the right filters so you don't have any wasted cash on buying the wrong ones.

P100 filters will give you dust protection


combo P100 and VOC cartiidges will give you some protection against glues, solvents, fumes from laminate handle materials.
