Safeguard All The Areas of Your Lathe

There are three main areas of a lathe that require guards: the chuck, the lead screws, and the point of operation.  The chuck holds the workpiece in place while machining and requires a shield.  The lead screws are responsible for moving the cutting tool and must be protected to prevent entanglement injury to the operator.  The point of operation produces flying chips and is where the cutting tool makes contact with the workpiece.
