I know there have been several threads on faceshields but I haven’t seen this question answered. I wear a 3M 7502 half mask respirator for woodworking and am looking for a faceshield that would allow me to wear the respirator under the shield. I’ve looked at the Uvex Bionic and the Jackson Maxview shields. Does anyone use a separate respirator with a faceshield? Any suggestions?
I know there are faceshields with incorporated air like the Trend but they are beyond my budget.
Thanks

I used the same respirator (3M 7502) under a Uvex Bionic mask and there was plenty of room, and since the exhaust opening points down, it didn't cause any fogging. It was my go-to PPE until I put together a Versaflo rig.

Thanks George and Ric for this thread. I've just ordered this 7502 3M half mask for my own use. Although, I am currently using a resp-o-rator under my Bionic faceshield, I will probably use this half mask similarly. My main purpose here, is to use it without the Bionic shield, wearing just my safety glasses, for some other low risk situations.

edit note: I ordered some #2091 filters to use with the 7502 half mask.......
