Bench Grinder Safety Gauge with Tether (KSC096T)

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. The bench grinder safety gauge measures 2 3/4-inches wide by 2 1/4-inches high by .1000-inches thick and has a 1/4-inch hole for attachment to the bench grinder.

The bench grinder gauge includes an 18″ long plastic-coated, 18-8 stainless steel tether that is riveted to the gauge on one end and open to screw (hex head 1/2″ long drilling screw #10 included) into a machine stand on the other, allowing you to keep your grinder gauge next to your bench grinder all the times and prevent it from getting lost or stolen.

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.215 specifies that work rests must be kept adjusted closely to the wheel with a maximum opening of 1/8-inch 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-inch.
