I wear one. Here'sanother question: What brand is a good (safe) one? Mine is from Harbor Freight and it works well for keeping small chips from hitting me in the face but I hate to think of something big hitting it.
I wear a Trend Airshield Pro. It's pricey, but it's worth every penny. It is s good shield and also a great filter.I wear one. Here'sanother question: What brand is a good (safe) one?

This is the one I intend to pick up. Doesn't have all the bells ans whistles the thrend does but it's 1/10th the price.I've looked for face shields in the stores before but never found anything I thought was more that cheap crap. :frown:
Thanks to those that posted links to some better equipment. Are there any other good options? I like the looks of the trend shield, but the price is a little high for me at $375, Maybe couple the bionic with my Bicycle helmet and see what I come up with! :wink:
It is the best price around for it and I haven't had a bit of trouble with mine since I ordered it last year.you guys need to check out this:

Whoa. Wow.
I use a cheap, $4.00 face shield from Harbor Freight. Maybe I should look into a slightly better one. Wow.

FYI sanding can be just as bad if not worse with some things. The heat generated can cause expansion which can lead to blow outs.I almost always use a faceshield unless I am sanding. I have had bowl blanks break apart and pieces hit me in my face mask before. One in particular hit hard enough to really jar my head. Always thought that could have been the killer piece there.
