Heavy-duty, 14-gauge steel lathe chuck shields (12, 18, and 24 in.) provide safeguard between individuals and point-of-operation or rotating hazards and also protect individuals from flying chips, sparks, coolant, lubricant, and other particles. Shield hinges left and rests at 45° angle above headstock to facilitate chuck or workpiece changing/adjustment. Operator does not need to reach over chuck to move shield, and shield will not interfere with lathes that have rear guard/backsplash.<br />
