Information and Specifications
HINTS FOR SELECTING THE CORRECT LATHEGUARD(1) The Chuck Diameter being used on your Lathe makes for a good formula.
(2) Utilize Dimension "A" and other dimensions given in chart shown below.
(3) On Lathes with center heights of 7 inches or more there is a significant variation in the diameter of a 3 Jaw as against a 4-Jaw Chuck. It may be necessary to install the next larger Latheguard to accommodate for the 4-Jaw Chuck. Keeping a double bracket (No. FLEX.13071) on the Lathe makes it possible to switch your latheguard from small to larger size and vice versa, in one minute.
NEITHER RAZOR SHARP CHIPS NOR BROKEN TOOLS BITS WILL PENETRATE THE LEXAN SHIELD
