The chips only hurt when they land in your eye, they just bouce off your arms and hands. That's if you are cutting (carbide burr), if grinding (grit impregnated abrasive) those little buggers get hot. Respirators are important if you are in a confined space or doing lots of work. As much for the vaporized oil you are putting in the air as for the bits of iron. Steady now
