- Enhanced Safety Features: The lathe guard window is made from 1/4" thick Lexan (polycarbonate), providing exceptional impact resistance and robust protection. This shield covers a wide area, ensuring maximum safety for the user. The guard is finished with PPG's powder-coated "OSHA Safety Orange" paint, making it highly visible and adding an extra layer of safety by increasing its visibility in a workshop setting.
- Sturdy Mounting Method: Mounts by drilling/ bolting to the coolant tray. The design is engineered to clear the various locations of objects such as coolant pumps and power wires.
