Flexible-Arm Shields


Rockford, Illinois-Protect your operators from flying chips, sparks and coolant!

These new flexible-arm shields can be used on lathes, drills, 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 and oil. They offer virtually unlimited adjustment possibilities and long-term holding ability.

The flexible arms have two mounting options: direct or magnetic. The direct-mount base can be fastened directly to a machine. 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.

The transparent portion of these shields is constructed of 3/16"-thick clear polycarbonate. Standard size and special size shields are available.
