New product arrival: Flexible-Arm Shields
We are excited to introduce our new line of economical flexible-arm shields. Please see the attached single-page catalog.
These flexible-arm shields can be used on lathes, drills, small 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, oil, and contaminants that would weaken their holding power. They offer virtually unlimited adjustment possibilities and long-term holding power
The transparent portion of these shields is constructed of 3/16"-thick clear polycarbonate. The shield places a barrier between an operator and the flying chips (swarf), sparks, and coolant generated at the point of operation. Special shield sizes are available up to 12" x 12"; please contact the factory.
The flexible arms come with two styles of mounting base: direct or magnetic. The direct-mount base can be fastened directly to a machine with two 1/4" fasteners (included). 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.
