    That sucks. I admit I am a wimp I use the face shield for anything bigger then a stopper. I have only had one piece bounce off my face shield, but that was enough to convince me to wear it more.

    Pete that puppy had to hurt. Sheesh that hurts just looking pal. I never enter the shop and touch a lathe on/off switch before I put on a face shield.

    I know this much.....you would NOT want to get smacked with what flew off and hit my face shield yesterday. Face shields are a PITA...they're uncomfortable, they get covered in dust and have to be wiped clean frequently, sometimes they can even cloud your vision of what you're turning, and for guys like me who still have hair on their head they completely screw up our appearance (and yes, sometimes that does matter)......but the alternative....

    OTOH, having said that, I have been guilty of the same thing. In fact there is one Forum member who will possibly chuckle at me if he happens to catch this post. (And I deserve it too.)

    Has anybody tried using a "cough guard" style face shield- like the one on salad buffets? If you integrated some dust collection into it, it might be a lot more convenient than a head-worn one. I tend to steam them up rather quickly.

    Can't you guys get Trend Air shields over there? Brilliant gadget- has a dust extract built in, polycarbonate ( read shatter proof) face shield and cool air blown over your face- letc you turn for longer!!!

    Fairrly light weight but you have to turn the radio in the shop up a bit.

    Glad you're OK having had a Yew bowl ( or rather half a yew bowl) bounce off my shield bout 8 years ago I'm a fan!
