Dust mask/helmet for sawdusting

[Scholsey]

What does everyone use/supply for when sawdusting beds without a cab, decent dust masks just seem to be used once and thrown away and makes it a job and the cheap dustmasks aren’t good enough, looking at one of the forced air helmets, might look a bit daft but sawdust and routinely lime are savage. The helmet would have the added Benefit of protecting eyes aswell.

Anyone else have one?

Can't help you with the space helmet or lime as I don't use either.

For dust, Google and have a look at "bikers bandit mask".

They cost about the same as a pack of the crappy paper masks. Win.
They work better, last longer and are machine washable. Win win.
They have excellent face and neck coverage. Win win win.

Most importantly, you get to buy biker stuff and look awesome. Win win win win.

On the subject of masks, any decent face mask out there for chainsaw work? The petrol fumes make me very nauseaus, after an hour or so on it

You need to be careful with working with a saw, it can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. I have a stihl with a catalytic converter on it and try to only use it outside or in an airy shed
