Can this respirator be used for sanding wood, etc.

This mask is sufficient for many different task. The filter is what dictates the appropriate safety. A pink n95 rated filter will handle particulates fine.

Sure but it might be a bit of overkill for sanding wood. A half-face unit and safety glasses would probably be more comfortable. A hobbyist would probably me just fine with using the disposable, paper masks. It depends on just how much dust is in the air and for how long but I dont think a full face respirator is really necessary unles you need to keep fumes out of your eyes.

Sure but is way over kill... Sawdust particles are large .. A paper N95 mask should be plenty for wood sanding...

This is a fairly small belt sander that's intended for delicate work. It will obviously work on harder woods, but it's primarily designed for use on soft woods, like spruce and balsa. So, you wouldn't really require a dust port...it would make such a small power tool unwieldy and difficult to use if one were even attached. And being small, it doesn't produce anywhere near the power and dust that a full size belt sander would use. Being only 150 watts, it doesn't get all that hot either....more like "warm" during normal use. Any amount of heat generated also depends highly on how long you're using it (the "on" time).

I too use the sander indoors and have found it to be very effective at dust collection. Most of my sanding is done with a fine grit paper for prepping wood for wood carving. Although the sander can be used with a small shop vacuum, I have not found that necessary for my use.

i would be very careful with the sander. it can eat your hand. for safety i would not put shop vac on it.. imo

1/4-Inch air inlet; 8 CFM air consumption, this should be max CFM. Yes you can use PSA sandpaper.

I don't know. However you can take off the sawdust bag and see if the vac hose will fit. If it fits, or is close use some duct tape or masking tape to make the seal airtight. Obviously, you will lose some flexibility with the sander, but it will be a easier clean-up . If you use the plastic plate with the nubs on it to pierce the sandpaper, the sander does a pretty good job of capturing the dust in the collection bag. I strongly suggest using ear plugs and/or protective headphones when using the sander, especially if using the sander with the vaccum.

Sure can! I use mine for wood work. The only thing to think about is water getting through your air hose and dripping on your wood. Most times it doesn't matter.

I don't see why not. It is basically a water trap. If you are sanding wood floors I would think you would do far better with something like the dust deputy (http://www.amazon.com/Oneida-AXD000004-The-Dust-Deputy/dp/B002GZLCHM/) which is specifically designed for wood dust.

I have only used it for painting prep purposes, drywall and a wooden desk. I'm not sure about wet sanding, I'm sorry :(

No. Would not work for sanding wood. This tool is a light weight. I was very disappointed in it.

A Radom orbital sander would be a better choice of tools for sanding wood. Preferably with dust collection attached to the sander. Exposed nail heads or screws could prove to be a problem with the sanding discs though.

I doubt it highly. Good for saw dust or minor leaves. Nothing more than that.

Yes it can. I sand my amouire in about a hour with just three sheets of sandpaper and otherwise job would've taken hours to do. I love this little sander.

I do. Just about any P100 would be good for sanding. I use this one for any woodworking I do. I've also used it when mowing on high pollen days. It works fine for me.

Awesome. You must make sure the mask fits tight. You should have no problem. I have used mine for sheet rock sanding and had no trouble with it at all. Hope this helps. KS

Yes this would work for saw dust. The pre-filter would get most of the larger particulates and is washable. The charcoal and HEPA filters would remover the smaller particles.

Not well, let me explain . The sander is a compressed air eater. Once your compressor is fully charged it will run the sander , but it will start slowing down quickly because a compressor of that size can not keep up with the sanders demand. Now if you want to stop and start your sanding project stopping so that the compressor can play catch up it will work .
