I just use my old face shields from my motorcycle helmets and attach them to a cheap mag base. They seem to be good for keeping about 75-80% of the chips from ending up on the floor.

You're post was double inspiration for me. The flexible cooolant line in the same picture. I had some old facemasks on hand, but I also had cell phone stand thingy, that used those flexible nylon ball things. I broke it apart, made a tab to hold it on the quill of the lathe, put a bolt through the facemask, and potted both ends with JB-Weld to get a guard that I can easily move to where it needs to be our out of the way.
