Lathe Spindle Guard Features & Advantages

This lathe spindle guard is great for machines with a chuck diameter of 16″ or more.

The shield slides left, allowing unobstructed access to the parts. The smooth slide mechanism allows fast and easy access when changing workpieces.

Should I Buy Polycarbonate or Glass Windows?

Each size has the option to include polycarbonate or laminated safety glass windows. The advantages of glass are that it won’t burn or scratch as easily as polycarbonate. However, polycarbonate is an excellent choice because of its impact resistance and lightweight. Use glass if the machine sprays a lot of coolants or hot chips from the lathe. Use polycarbonate if coolant is used locally on the part, and chips aren’t a big problem. The polycarbonate is easily changed if it becomes cloudy or scratched up from regular use.

Work Light Option

You will love the work lights we put on these lathe chuck guards! Because the whole assembly is mounted on the headstock, we have cleverly installed LED work lights underneath the top of the guard. The part you’re working on and the work area will be well-lighted, making working with the lathe much more enjoyable.

LED Work Light

Work lights are an excellent choice for the operator’s experience. The LED light offers a 120-degree beam at 700 Lumens and comes with a 5m cable length.

Lathe Spindle Guard

We were in need of a larger guard for the chuck on our new lathe. This guard allows for not only exception coverage but positions in multiple ways to accommodate most any stock.

Highly recommend this guard!
