Lathe Chuck Shield
View All Shields

The Lathe Chuck Shield has a semicircular
shape made from impact-resistant, transparent
polycarbonate. The shields themselves are
attached to a 1" zinc-plated extension tube. This
tube is inserted into a mounting bracket. The shield assembly
does not include the mounting bracket.
The semicircular shield covers half the circumference
of the lathe chuck because it is mounted an
equal distance from the chuck center.
Access to the chuck and workpiece is quick and
easy. The shield is lifted up and out of the way for
the operator.

The shield size depends on the center height of the
lathe and the diameter of the chuck. On lathes
with a center height up to 7", there is a small variation
in diameter between the 3- and 4-jaw
chucks; therefore, one size shield will do the job.
On lathes with a center height in excess of 7", there
is a greater variation in diameter between the
chucks; therefore, it is advisable to use two different
size shields to provide adequate protection.
