Small Interlocked Safety Shield
The TR-1 small interlocked safety guard with a curved screen includes robust safety features.

- Vertical adjustment: 4″
- Impact-resistant polycarbonate (Lexan™) shield
- Built-in tamper-resistant electrical safety interlock switch

The shield helps prevent entanglement hazards by protecting the rotating parts of a machine. If used on a small drill press, this guard also protects against projections such as chips and coolant. This guard will help prevent ejections from accidentally leaving chuck keys inside the drill chucks. Customers can also buy self-ejecting chuck keys for added safety.
