He should also wear safety goggle as opposed to safety
glasses. Also a
full face shield come in handy too using any wheeled tool.

Yeah I know it's a pain in the ass. Better than being blinded. If
using a wheel grinder you should also have leather elbow high gloves.
The marina owner here last years was helping his brother weld up some
new boat stands, the grinder kicked on him and grinded down to the
bone on his forearm. Better safe than sorry.

Not all that other stuff, but got to go with Joe on the eye
protection. In my industrial life the number one, by far, OSHA
recordable incident was "foreign body in the eye".

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!

Coincidentally, the Elliott compressor ( 13' X 20') I was to
haul today didn't pass final inspection, so,I'm going
sailing.

Love those 'cash jobs'.

But is more useful.
