Pro-safe Prosafe 8 Inchesguard Vise Base Shield 5x17 in

Product Description

The PRO-SAFE PROSAFE 8"GUARD is a flat-style polycarbonate base shield designed to protect the operator and surrounding work area during vise operations. Measuring 5 inches wide by 17 inches long and 1/4 inch thick, the shield provides a clear line of sight to the workpiece while blocking chips, sparks, and debris. The kit includes both the vise mount hardware and the polycarbonate shield panel, making it a complete installation package. This type of vise guard is typically installed by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and shop technicians working in industrial, commercial, or vocational settings.

This shield is designed for use with 8-inch vises and mounts directly to the vise base. The flat shield style suits bench vise applications where a low-profile, full-width barrier is needed between the operator and the jaws. It is commonly installed on metalworking bench vises in production shops, maintenance facilities, and technical training environments where OSHA machine guarding requirements apply.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or maintenance technician. Ensure the vise is fully secured to the bench and free of load before attaching the mount hardware. Follow the vise manufacturer's mounting guidelines and consult applicable OSHA machine guarding standards before placing the guard in service. Do not overtighten mounting fasteners on the polycarbonate panel, as this can crack the material.
