Safety Guarding for Horizontal Boring Mills

Designed for boring mills, this safety guard has a large, see-through shield to protect the operator from chips and coolant. There are still quite a few of these horizontal boring machines today. They are used for boring and can also mill surfaces off huge parts that don’t fit on a standard milling machine. Many old boring machines still used in industry today do not have safety guards. Ferndale Safety designed these guards to take on the harsh environment around a boring machine.
