Machine Tool Guards and Shields
Surface Grinder Guards
To contain abrasive wheel fragments, suppress sparks and protect from entanglement and flying debris
Durable guard assembly designed for surface grinders to improve safety, visibility and compliance without sacrificing access or productivity.
Surface grinder guards are durable safety enclosures designed to protect operators from wheel contact, abrasive debris, and coolant splash during precision grinding operations. Built with reinforced steel frames and clear, impact-resistant polycarbonate shields, these guards provide full visibility of the grinding wheel and workpiece while creating a physical barrier against high-speed particles. Adjustable designs allow easy access for setup and part changes while helping facilities meet OSHA 1910.212 machine-guarding requirements. Upgrading to modern surface grinder guards improves operator protection, reduces injury risks, and supports safer, more compliant grinding operations in toolrooms, maintenance shops, and production environments.
User-Friendly Design
- Transparent polycarbonate shields combined with spark-deflection panels provide full visibility of the grinding surface while maintaining protection.
- Adjustable eye-shield and tool-rest coverage permit precise grinding operations without operator interference.
- Smooth-opening jaw or swing doors enable rapid wheel change-over and maintenance without full guard removal.
Flexible Mounting Options
- Brackets and mounts designed to fit 6", 8", 10", or 12" wheel bench/pedestal grinders.
- Front guard assemblies can be installed on OEM wheel guard frames or retrofitted to machines lacking adequate shielding.
- Optional full-wrap shields, spark curtains and extended side-panels for high-use production grinders or weld-shop environments.
Seamless System Integration
- Designed to integrate with machine E-stop, safety interlock and peripheral guarding systems as part of a comprehensive machine-safety solution.
- Helps users meet relevant standards (e.g., OSHA 29 CFR 1910.215 for grinder guarding) and facilitates audit readiness.
- Lightweight modular design simplifies installation and maintenance—compatible with other guard modules in your facility.
