Makita 140t26-1 Tool-less Wheel Guard 5 Inches

Product Description

The MAKITA 140t26-1 is a 5-inch tool-less wheel guard designed as a replacement accessory for compatible Makita angle grinders and cutting tools. The guard installs and removes without additional tools, allowing faster wheel changes during grinding or cutting operations. It provides a protective barrier between the abrasive wheel and the operator, which is a standard safety requirement on angle grinders used in fabrication, construction, and mechanical service work. Trades including pipefitters, ironworkers, and general contractors rely on properly fitted wheel guards to maintain compliance with OSHA and tool manufacturer safety standards.

This guard is sized for 5-inch abrasive wheels and fits into typical residential, commercial, and industrial job site applications where Makita angle grinders are in use. It serves as a direct OEM-style replacement part, restoring the tool to factory-configured condition when the original guard is damaged or lost. Installation requires no special tools, making field replacement straightforward.
