Mounting Brackets for Small Steel and
Transparent Lathe Chuck Shields

The zinc-plated extension tube, to which the polycarbonate and steel shields are fastened, is mounted to the headstock of the lathe by a mounting bracket.

There are two principal types of mounting brackets available. Type A is used for mounting to the top or the side of the headstock. Type B is used for mounting to the inside face of the headstock.

Bracket Type A
Part No. LXS-650
For mounting to the top or side of the headstock.

For difficult mounting conditions, bracket Type A1 may be used. This bracket incorporates a telescopic height adjustment (up to 2") and can be swiveled up to an angle of 90° as required.

Bracket Type A1
Part No. LXS-651
For extended mounting to top or side of the headstock.

Bracket Type B2 is a two-socket mounting. It can be fastened to the face of the headstock where shields with different diameters may be used. It accommodates 3-jaw and 4-jaw chucks. The inner socket is used for the 3-jaw chuck shield. When changing over to a 4-jaw chuck, the shield is removed from the inner socket and replaced by a larger diameter shield inserted into the outer socket. This accommodates the 4-jaw chuck.

Full dimensions, showing the shield in relation to the chuck, are illustrated on the Transparent Lathe Chuck Shields page.

Bracket Type B
Part No. LXS-652
For mounting to the face of the headstock.

Bracket Type B2
Part No. LXS-653
For mounting to the face of the headstock when two different sized shields are used.

Electrical Interlocking Bracket Assembly
