Safety Glasses and dust

[HAMMER]

I wear glasses while cutting on the scroll saw and they have plastic lenses. While cutting with or without a fan on the fine dust collects on the lenses, do to static electricity. Does anyone have a simple method of preventing this from happening?

I have used rainx and I have also tried the trick of using shaving cream to wipe my shop glasses with. I have not had a lot of success I still get some dust but it is better after words with both ideas. I have not tried waxing my shop lenses yet...but the static goes away with both of the other tips.

I will try it when I get home today.

Thanks...

I have to grab my air hose once in a while and blow the dust off my glasses.

It doesn't correct the problem but it is a quick way to get the dust off for

a while. Don't they make some kind of anti-static wipe cloth that would

work

I have tried the blow gun form the compressor. You are right it works but I would like to prevent the problem to begin with if I could.... By the tme I notice it I can barely see the lines...

You could try some leftover dryer sheets.....

Don't laugh. That trick works well on the full face mask I use when turning on the lathe.

I went to my local Walmart eye doctor and got some GLASS safety glasses with bifocals and plain glass on top for $108. I ware them all the time and get very little dust sticking on them.

Thanks for the tips I'll try them all. One of them has got to work.......
