These flexible-arm shields can
be used on lathes, drills, small mills, grinders, band saws, or similar
equipment including woodworking machines. The heavy-duty, flexible arms are made
of spring steel and are covered with vinyl to protect them from grease, oil, and
contaminants that would weaken their holding ability. They offer virtually
unlimited adjustment possibilities and long-term holding ability. The
transparent portion of these shields is constructed of 3⁄16"-thick clear
polycarbonate. The shield places a barrier between an operator and the flying
chips (swarf), sparks, and coolant generated at the point of operation. Special
shield sizes are available up to 12" x 12". The
flexible-arm shields have two mounting options: direct or magnetic. The
direct-mount base can be fastened directly to a machine with two 1⁄4" fasteners
(included). The magnetic base consists of a 3" diameter magnet with 100-lb
holding force. If an adequate flat, ferrous mounting surface is not available,
an optional steel mounting plate can be permanently attached to the machine to
hold the magnetic base.
