I actually invested in a pair some 6 months or so ago; found them great for weed eating, lawn mowing, etc. and discovered they worked well on the boat when there was a lot of spray around and you need to still see the GPS and the gauges. Problem is when grinding, welding or machining I need all the perifocal vision mother nature can throw at me and bi-focal doesn't quite cut the cake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUL8R Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 https://nzsafetyblackwoods.co.nz/en/armadillo-replacement-clear-visor-each-112018?gclid=CjwKCAjwur-SBhB6EiwA5sKtjmjMbFgcTd60ibiG7krsv0Irbj-ejvK1otrySA4J1Tkh5lyk2L_9NxoCxMwQAvD_BwE This is what you need, after having to go to doctors 3-4 times with metal splinters embedded in my eye, and having them scraped out. No problems with huffying up - I also use a 3M respirator underneath as I got sick of all the grinding dust up my nose etc.. That way you can still wear your normal glasses, and protect your whole face.. (Im not blind, nor do I wear glasses lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Great progress mate. The MGA gearshift boot gets my vote. Will look more at home than the modern one I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi808 Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Have you tried the VCC for a gearbag boot? They should have a bunch of options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been using dust masks for the last 10 years now, after I started working on that Bedford cf project. I was noticing how much dust etc I had in my nose at the end of the day. If I ever even grind something for a few seconds without a mask I quickly note how much stuff I'm breathing in. Or you see the stuff floating about in the air when grinding in the sunshine. I figure all the metal drops to the floor so what we are breathing is the fine dust from the epoxy that holds the disc together? @sr2 Vauxhall Viva hbs have a really nice gearstick gaitor you might like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the shit I blow out into the sink rusts, so I think this is the case Shower floor is pretty Rusty tho 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse than that Yoeddynz, its also Fibreglass and other (probably more nasty) things that give the disc its structure. Makes me feel sick thinking about it. Also, check the computers grille/filter on any cnc/workshop machinery. Ya breaking that shit in all day long, its terrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
