This is also why I wear a face shield over the glasses.

holy shit im surprised the safety glasses stopped that
they must be better than the cheap plastic ones my last job had
good for sparks n splinters... but im pretty sure a spinning deathblade woulda gone straight through without slowing down much

Someone had posted something like this earlier. It inspired me to buy a full face shield:
I figure $40 is cheaper than losing an eye.

As long as it is ANSI Z87.1+ i t’s impacted rated. The ones we have at work at cost like 1.20 a piece and meet that spec.

hmmm... welp.. dunno what they were... but they had the ce aproval thingie... so maybe im underestimating them

Idk the CE rules. But there should be a stamp on there.
Just z87 meets the low impact tests. Z87+ meets high velocity.

I have those exact 3M safety glasses. Yep they are Z87, might be Z87.1+ I’ll have to look.
Best glasses I ever had, the foam around the edges prevent fogging for the most part and lens cover my whole field of vision.
Of course I know how to use a grinder and always see the top of the grinder, never the cutting edge.

David Tracy posted a story yesterday about getting a sliver of metal removed from his eye after using inadequate eye protection while grinding away some of the rust on his postal Jeep .
