Grinder Shields

Grinder Shields

There are two types of flexible arms available for attaching shields to bench grinders: flexible copolymer lock-arms, and flexible spring-steel arms. Both types of arms are available in standard lengths. See ordering information below.

The double-wheel grinder shield provides protection for both wheels of the grinder with one continuous shield. The durable shield is made of clear, 3/16"-thick polycarbonate and measures 18" x 6". A special shield bracket adds stability to the top of the shield.

The single-wheel grinder shield is made of clear, 3/16"-thick polycarbonate and measures 6" x 6". This sturdy, impact-resistant shield is designed for use when a single wheel needs safeguarding.

Mounting options: There are two mounting options for the double- and single-wheel grinder shields.

  • Direct-mount base—attaches directly to the grinder table or pedestal
  • Magnetic base—3"-diameter magnet

If an adequate flat, ferrous mounting surface is not available, an optional steel mounting plate is available that can be permanently attached to the machine to hold the magnetic base.

Rockford Bench Grinder Safety Gauge
Rockford Systems Bench Grinder Safety Gauge


The bench grinder safety gauge is laser-cut, Grade 5052 aluminum with H32 hardness. The safety yellow, durable powder-coated gauge has silk-screened text and graphics. It measures 2 3/4" wide by 2 1/4" high by .1000" thick and has a 1/4" hole for attachment to the bench grinder.

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.215 specifies that work rests must be kept adjusted closely to the wheel with a maximum opening of 1/8" to prevent the workpiece from being jammed between the wheel and the rest. OSHA also states that the distance between the grinding wheel and the adjustable tongue must never exceed 1/4".
