Yes, I like both my eyes. I was wearing glasses, w/
side
shields. I was on my back, the piece bounced up in
somehow.

Can happen, it has to me twice in 30+ years. Both times no
real damage. A
riccochet off the cheek bone, bounce off the *inside* of
the glasses, and into
the eye.

These days for serious grinding I wear a full face shield
and the protective
glasses over my prescription glasses. The full face shield
cuts down those low
angle bounces off the face.


I use the full shield when I'm wearing a respirator,
otherwise my glasses tend to fog up.

Hmm, I find I get less fogging with a full face shield than the protective
glasses.

BTW, new Elliott universal horizontal mill with univ vertical head landed in
the barn Friday. A 20' container load of heavy machine tools arrives tomorrow,
all going to plan.

Nice little cash job for the truck driver. I know that a job's worth paying
for.

After that, gotta decide where they all go for the floorplan. New 3 phase line
went in last week.

Might post some pix later. My milling machine has more mass than Bobby's boat!
