A good friend of mine his father was a welder and told us boys buy a respirator so you don’t end up like everyone else in your 40s we said why he said because all though you may be cutting and grinding and welding all those fumes do get you and cancer will catch you
Yeah man especially when welding heavy metals like stainless, chrome inconel and Monel
@@JTwelder. can you do a video on how to put your welding hood on a hard hat like the one you showed please
@@JTwelder.jake the helmet vid pls( sorry if y posted it alr)
I've been using this 3m 6502QL respirator mask for about one year on my welding job, I am really happy with it, I wish I started using it at the beginning of my welding career. The filters which I buy for this mask are 3m 2138, they are awesome, they are specially designed for welding application, plus they block odours, cost really cheap, and fit under any hood. But after one year of using it I bought myself 3m speed glass 9002x welding mask with Adflo respirator system, this is much more expensive but even more convenient, I would say it is next level, especially when it is hot weather
Yeah I want a 3m for at home. At my job the belt pack isn't practical but in my garage I'm sure it would work great!
@@JTwelder. I think it's to luxurious for a garage due to its price, it's for industrial usage in my opinion. Though I bought it used for around 500 dollars for the welding mask+Adflo
@@mddenis1 I make money working in the garage so it's probably worth it
Thank you for this! This is a great perspective for a life practice that could benefit welders in the long run. This is the info I have been looking for.
Glad I could help!
Very good video I liked it a lot more people should see this video if they want to live longer and have a healthier life especially when welding.
Great video mate. So many welder don’t care about lung health and we need to make it standard! I love my 7500 but have that problem of having to remove it each time to talk. A 3m Ad flo with flip up is the cadillac but it’s sooo expensive. This quick release plus a pipeliner flip up lens might be the next best thing at fraction of cost
Awesome suggestion, thank you! I was trying to find a solution to this problem. My other respirator is huge and simply won't fit under a welding hood.
I was undecised between those two, thanks, you deserve to have more views
Thanks man yeah I'm gonna start working on getting more content up!
My favorite negative pressure respirator is the 3m quick latch. Would recommend to all negative pressure enjoyers!
It really is a great respirator
Good advice man!
Thank you!
No problem
Thanks
Good video.
I’m at a job they don’t enforce wearing respirator welding masks and even given the idea but after a few days I’ve decided to buy one of my own as I’m looking out for my own safety and I can tell there’s definitely some gas fumes everytime I’d jump back between cells 1 and 2 to load and unloading and assembly parts. I don’t personal weld but we have daihen welding robots that do so I’ve already taking the liberty of buying one.
Nice good idea on getting one!
welding fumes are really over looked these days. I just got outta school and been mig welding about a year almost 2 and I wish I’d started wearing a respirator at the beginning. The crazy thing is I honestly had no clue how bad of stuff could be in this metal. Even just carbon steel has some pretty nasty stuff. Good to see somebody gettin it out there. Honestly I’d rather be bitched at to wear a respirator rather than steel toes and saftey glasses 😂
Honoured to be the 420th like on this video.
Speaking facts
thank you, also just curious at the moment im going to welding school and is getting harder and harder to breath at times and im not sure if its worth getting a masks or respirator since ive been starting out..
Do you know if the 2097 will protect against tig welding stainless steel vapors / fumes?
King
Hey can you please do a video on how to attach a sugar scoop or tiger hood to that kind of hard hat please
You just buy the 3m hard hat halo and replace your hoods Head gear with it.
I'm about to be a Dad. Will this block odors out pretty good? 😂
Have you tried putting a bluetooth microphone inside the respirator? For sure there is a way to connect it to a small speaker that you also put on yourself. >> No more need to take off the mask for talking. Just an idea.
thanks for the honest review you made, now i can decide wich respirator i should buy. but i have a little bit of confusion in choosing the right filter for the respirator. which one you prefer for FCAW/SMAW welding between 2097, 2091 or 2297?
For welding use a 2097 or 2297 (they’re both rated the same for filtering but 2297 is easier to breathe through) they both have charcoal in the making them more suitable for welding than a 2091. I personally use the 2297 because I want to breathe as easily as possible when wearing a respirator.
@@JTwelder. okay than, thanks dude!
3m 4255 is good?
Going to order this asap. So overlooked on my current job site. What are the recommended filters for SMAW 6022,7018
2297 is what I use.
I bought this in large size but I think I should got medium. I do have Miller L/M mask which I like, not as bulky as this one.
Most people are size medium. It's bigger than a Miller but the size has never bothered me once in 7 years so for me it's not a issue.
What part doesnt feel right with the large ? Did you end up going with a medium ? How do you tell what size you want ?
@@LORFCASTER I still fit just seemed bigger than it needed to be. I think medium is good for 80% of people.
Hello partner Jacob.
I have an important question regarding two models, of which I do not know which is better.
In terms of comfort, as you mention, which model is better for welding, the 6500QL respirator or the 7500?
Thank you, and I hope you can answer my question because I don't know which of the two models to buy.
I believe they are quite similar, similar size, downward exhaust (good for not fogging up welding helmets/visors the quick latch system that the 6500GL has is in my opinion really handy so that is the one I would pick (Only used the 6500QL)
I was literally about to reach out to you on instagram to see if you where going to make any videos any time soon. I'm loving the videos man, they are so helpful to me.
Awesome great to hear! I took the whole summer off to work on a personal project of mine so I haven't had the source of content like I thought I would otherwise. Fortunately the project I'm working on is welding related and will be a great video but I'm uploading it as one big video instead of parts.
@@JTwelder. Okay sounds good man!
thanku brother. i am doing alluminum. mig. spoof. can u suggest best fillter. as well. as carbon layer filter for alluminium
Filter 2097 or 2297
What filters are best to use for an welding environment,
3m 2097 is what I usually use
M3 2128 or 2138 for vapour organic gases and particles
I have this respirator, its good but the only thing I don't like is that it puts an uncomfortable amount of pressure on the bridge of my nose and its to the point where its left a dark spot on my nose.. Ive been getting the small, would using a medium help with this?
I would try readjusting it first. If that doesn't help I would definitely go up a size. Usually most guys are a medium.
@@JTwelder. Thanks!
Whats the difference between the 2297 and 2138 filters? Both are P3/P100 and have nuisance level organic vapour protection.
Not sure I just buy 2297 because that's what my welding supply stocks.
2138 have nuisance level protection for organic vapour and acid gas.
GVS half mask same company and model as Miller half mask fits underneath your welding hood
GVS makes the Miller respirator and costs less exact same respirator
👍
This 3m blows the gvs/miller out of the water!!! I will happily pay more to have the quick latch system and also 3m filters are much much more common and easier to get your hands on.
What are the filters for this that can filter welding fumes?
I use 2297 and 2097. Those are the two I know about but I think there is a few more options from 3m but I just haven't saw them yet.
@@JTwelder. thank you
@@JTwelder. Is one more effective with specific fumes/dust than the other?
Does this fit under the welding hood or any other masks?
Yeah it fits under basically every hood
@@JTwelder. Awesome, thanks!
Does the 7500 series mask have a quick lat h release like the 6500 series?
No only the 6500 series that ends with QL is quick latch.
@@JTwelder. Which to get the 7502 or the 6502? Does the 6502 have the same silicone seal? I do like the quick latch on the 6502 but comfort would be more beneficial in the long run.
I see Small, medium, & large sizes, but no sizing charts Any suggestions?
Medium fits most people.
@@JTwelder. Thanks
"Anyway not to inhale fumes thats gonna help you"
Definitely! I would say 80% of field welder don't wear any type of respiratory protection and probably 50% also smoke. It's a great way to destroy your lungs.
@@JTwelder. Yea, whats on your face you can wash off. But whats on your lungs you cant. Black lung etc.. causes heart failure. Terrible existence when you can no longer go for a walk you are so out of breath.
3m filter for all tig fumes? The pink do not filter one fume.
Your thinking of the 2091 filters. I'm wearing the 2097 filters which do protect against partical fumes that come off welding.
@@JTwelder. There is one tig fume the 2097 don't remove. Let's wait some safety engineering savant to save us all.
Even better is a PAPR
Yeah they are definitely a better option health wise but for a lot of confined space and Field work they really can be quite a nuisance. Thats why a lot of guys just run a respirator.
@@JTwelder. I like the idea of the papr system cause saftey glasses are much more comfortable to wear without them being pushed out by a respirator. Plus u have free unrestricted breathing and talking . and it’s more comfortable so that equals wearing it more often. nothing wrong with a good old respirator tho, much better than nothing
@@silverstreamweldingltd471 I'm considering a 3m papr system for myself when doing shop work.
People who "hate" safety, are just plain stupid. Don't let them influence you, keep wearing safety gear.
It sucks cause my job won't get these cause they don't want to go through making sure their fitted right and all the other things they have to do to be sure their used correctly.
I bet they say safety is first too haha. They don't have to make them mandatory but they should at least offer them to whoever what's one.
