THIS CAN PROTECT MASK WHEN GRINDING METAL?

Not sure what mask you are talking about however, it will protect your face from flying debris. If the metal is super hot it may make a mark in shield but it shouldn't get through. I use mine for wood turning and have had huge chunks of wood fly off the lathe and hit the face shield. My face was fine but it did crack the clear shield part, which you can get replacements for.

I am not sure, sorry. This is the only mask I have ever purchased and I am happy with it.

Yes, you can wear a dust mask - as a matter of fact it'll keep you from fogging up the mask if it is very humid.

I was making saw nuts out of brass rod and it picked up the dust from sawing and grinding just fine. I would imagine Jakob is right but for occasional, non-production use it should not be a problem. It certainly is better than having the metal get imbedded in the filter.

Yes, but heavily cavioted. It really depends on the subsurface of the material that you have paint on as what do do. As with any grinder it is very aggressive by its very nature. If you are removing paint an rust from steel, then a wire wheel with the proper sheilding and face guard will work. Let the wheel work, dont bear down. From wood, I'd recommend a sanding disk and again with the proper sheilding and face guard

These should work. I use them in my wood shop and they work great for saw dust.This 3M system ( the P100 filters mounted to the mask ) work FAR better than the paperand rubber band things you see at the local hardware dealers. Amazon was the best price too.

Yes, stucco is relatively soft, so it will grind off pretty easily. Grinding wheel will last a very long time on such materials. Seemed to last forever for me on concrete. Yes, definitely wear a mask.

Yes it does, I've tried two different masks without magnets, and this one has worked better for me.

You can purchase a kit and make your own grinding guard by loking at your local pharmacy in the dental section. For about $25 you can get a kit with very easy-to-follow directions. I used it because the dentist is too expensive. It works great and I use it every night.

Threaded canisters will not work on this mask. They use a tab locking system.

I'm not familiar--the one we bought, it seems it's all one metal piece, not different pieces molded together. It's a good mask, sorry you had that experience.

I purchased this grinder and I absolutely love it. I am not aware of a shield, but I do have a solution. I bought an inexpensive 5 gallon aquarium and turned it on its side. I sit the grinder inside the aquarium and use it that way. There is glass surrounding the grinder which protects your eyes as well as catching any water or glass grindings. It works great. Hope this helps.

This mask is mainly for dust related filtering and not organic compounds or fumes. I would recommend a mask that is specific to automotive paints.

I would not advise it. This is designed for overnight use for grinding. Using two may cause misalignment and keep your mouth too far open at night. If yours is becoming worn, buy a new one, the price is good.

Look for info on the particle size range of asbestos. I would think it's larger than the filtration ability of this cartridge; if it is, then you'll be protected. You probably already know this but the other important factor is taking the time to get a good snug fit. It doesn't take long but it's essential that you ensure it's snug all the way around every time you use it. I have used these cartridges with two different styles of mask (one protects my eyes as well) for years now and I always appreciate how much it protects me from even the obvious dust. I wouldn't be without mine.

We use the mask to spar with training weapons, mostly shinai (bamboo "swords"). It protects well but I have thought of wearing earplugs because the head strikes make my ears ring. We do not strike at full strength. We do not do open hand or gloved sparring with it (I referred to it as a "grater" once when I made incidental skin contact).

Hello there is a small magnet set into the filter cartridge. It is there to help remove metals.
