The grit from a surface grinder is pretty easy to control because you keep it wet when grinding. Also you are going to set the machines so the discharge points away from other machines. The grit drops out very fast, even grinding dry.
Bench grinders discharge should be channeled downward. If you wanted to go to the trouble the discharge could be terminated in a bucket of water. Hand grinding can be done so the discharge is aimed towards non-critical surfaces, like you, or out the door. Or if needed, take the project outside.
My biggest problem is controlling the dust from my blast cabinet. I can't use it in the central area of the shop, I wheel it over by the door or actually out the door sometimes. I have an old shop-vac mounted on the side, and a discharge hose that I run out the door and point it at the neighbors place.
