I run a hand grinder at work prepping chimneys for tuck pointing. I use a old school full face MSA silicone breathing mask. Also decent foam ear protection and double thickness cloth chore gloves, plus a paper head cover to keep some of the sand and dust out of my ears and hair. Those masks are available on eBay, many times for a great price. They sell all the parts you'll ever need to repair or ad upgrades too and many versions of the filter cartridges, sometimes dirt cheap. They also sell plastic visor sheilds that glue on the plastic view port so you don't destroy it and just keep swapping them out as they get too dirty and scratched see through. I like this setup way better than a half mask and eye protection goggles as it's a all in one breathing and eye protection system that is completely self contained for cheap. I usually use the N95 or 99 dust filters but you can get everything all the way to NBC filters if you're worried about the apocalypse. Mine is the ultra veiw twin though they now make newer more expensive versions. Think about it if you're going to do about anything that can destroy your lungs or eyes.
