Face Protection When Grinding

[mikerecike]

Any recommendations for a good quality face protection shield or even full on helmet when grinding / bench grinding? Bought a cheapo visor from Amazon years ago and it feels vulnerable. Something like this looks safe.

It's so safe he feels the need to wear safety goggles underneath it.

The thing with kind of visor once it starts getting scratched it'll be useless

Welding mask. I've started to use my auto darkening one for grinding. Sparks fly and it darkens down. It's all rather good actually.

Tried my auto darkening welding mask - bit lacking in peripheral vision. Scratching is a prob yep.

I have used a strimmer helmet with plastic visor when built in muffs have been needed.

Bit OTT for workshop use though. We just use cheap plastic almost throwaway faceshields. No idea of the make but presumably they all must be up to a certain spec.

Even a good one will scratch if placed shield down and no matter how many times the lads get a pat with a bit of 2x1 they don't seem to remember that.
