Is the visor strong enough to deflect wood chips? I turn wood and need both dust protection and protection from flying pieces of wood.

Yes, I think it will. I'm a stone sculptor and it deflects pieces of sharp stone.

It should, that's what it was made for, dust. Don't forget your safety glasses.

I`m not sure what you are asking me, but this protection rejects dust very good. Better then without it.

I have used this for TIG, and did not notice any problems with the helmet or my eyes, but perhaps the electronics aren't designed for high frequency shielding and will not last under the stress. All I can say is, I have used it for this without problem.

You would have to move your visor to the side, which would help, but then the front view is not protected.

I haven't used another hat with it, the visor works pretty well, but they supply an extra velcro like tab that sticks to the underside of your hat bill. You will need a fairly flat surface of the bill to attach it to.

I believe helmets designed for overhead have a glass viewer or viewer protectios. This is plastic and sparks will quickly pit and destroy the viewer.

Not sure of that Jason. I work for Proctor & Gamble and they are fanatics about safety. The safety director at our plant wanted to see my hard hat and he had no problems with it. Sorry I wasn't more helpful.

The faceshield can flip up and down like a welding mask. I believe it can allow some space for the respirator, but the shield would be at an angle.

It has magnates at its base to keep it in place over the vent. If the wood register doesn't have enough metal at the edges, the magnates won't be able to hold the deflector in place but it could just sit there if there isn't any traffic around it.

If you have a small-med fairing it does pull you head up over 55. There are several positions that you can place your head so that it stops but you can't turn your head sideways without buffeting . I bought it for ATV riding and its AWESOME!!!! In hot and cold weather. Light and the visor is good for blocking tree limbs. Yo can remove the visor

it depends on what helmet you use with it. Personally, i have an M1 helmet and the visor comes down about even with the tip of my nose

Hi,I have this helmet and i love it. I've never felt the visor obstruct my view. I don't see how it could if you are looking forward. It doesn't fall on your face.

I'm in the habit of cracking the visor open whenever I'm not moving forward, as it fogs up considerably at idle, as others have said. There are anti-fogging sprays out there, but I have never tried them. As for glasses, I tried it with some safety glasses that I have and they fit pretty well with both visors down, which, I have to confess, I wasn't expecting to be the case.

Yes, this item has a cover that closes and latches. It should be completely saw dust proof when closed. It's a nice unit and I would not hesitate to use it in a woodworking environment.

Eye protection. Sorby Gouges, skews, parting tools, etc. (the stuff that hits the wood). Technotool wood turning chuck for bowls and goblets. Understand that you will be spending upwards of a minimum of $500 for decent quality tools. If you Google "Tools required for wood turning" you will get a comprehensive answer.

For the money, this has been a good helmet. It does fog up if the dew point is right, and if I breath hard while wearing it on a cold day. I have not tried a defogging agent yet. But if I flip upthe visor one click, it helps to clear the shield. That may not be the best solution though if you are following someone who's kicking up a roost. Bottom line: it will fog up. Particularly at low speeds where air flow is sluggish.
