Rarely used air respirator. I bought this about 5yrs ago. I probably haven't used it mroe than 15-20hrs. I bought this due to the recommendations of Emiliano and others after reading various threads on the forums. I thought it would be great not just for use during sanding but for head/face safety due to it's impact ratings. But, I am legally blind with extremely limited field of vin one eye only. Due to my crappy vision, I have found that curved faceshields (cheap or expensive) causes some distortion in my vision. So I take the risk and turn without a faceshield.

As a result, this unit has seen very little use. I kept it hs long thinking I would use it for sanding only and not turning since the distortion issue wouldn't be as big of an issue compared to when using sharp tools on a spinning opject. But, I have a good just hood set up at the lathe. So this probably has less than 25hrs of actual use.

Currently it's on sale for 34% off on Amazon at about $1670. regular price $2500. And $1870 on Industrial Safety.

It will not fit into a large USPS Flate rate box. So buyeer pays actual shipping. Unfortunately with tariff issues no international shipping. If you want totry and get an estimate on shipping the package dimensions are 19" long X 14" w X 8"h with box and packaging materials the weight is 8lbs

$1100 or best offer
