Flexible-Arm/Snake-Arm/Gooseneck Shields

These flexible arms are made of high-quality, heavy-duty 3/4"-diameter spring steel covered with vinyl to protect from grease, oil, and contaminants that could weaken their holding power. They offer virtually unlimited adjustment possibilities and long-term holding power.

The shield can be used on lathes, drill presses, milling machines, grinders, band saws, woodworking machines, and similar equipment. It places a barrier between an operator and flying chips (swarf), sparks, and splashing coolant generated at the point of operation. The transparent portion of these flexible-arm shields is constructed of high-impact-resistant, 3/16"-thick polycarbonate. Special shield sizes are available up to 12" x 12"; please call our sales department at 1-800-922-7533 for more information.

The flexible-arm shields have two mounting options: 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, smooth, ferrous mounting surface is not available, an optional steel mounting plate (Part No. FKT-1106; see below) can be permanently attached to the machine to hold the magnetic base.
