Watching people trying to make small cuts with a Dremel, face 10" from the wheel, with no eye protection gives me anxiety.
Don't underestimate the effectiveness of a safety squint.
Thankfully I've never seen this done. Although I used to regularly rake my co-workers over the coals for not wearing a face shield while wire-wheeling rims.
If you think wearing a grinding mask is uncomfortable, wait until you get shrapnel in your eye.
