Universal Tongue Guard Replacement (6") W/Optional Eye Shield

Product Overview

The ODIZ Universal Bench Grinder Tongue Guard Replacement (6") provides a cost-effective way to restore OSHA compliance and extend the service life of your bench grinder.
Instead of replacing the entire grinder, this universal kit allows you to replace damaged, missing, or obsolete tongue guards quickly and safely.
Designed for 6" bench grinders, the kit is built to meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.215 requirements for tongue guard spacing and operator protection.

Why Replace Your Grinder Tongue Guard?

OSHA requires that the bench grinder tongue guard (upper guard) be adjusted to within 1/4" of the wheel per OSHA 1910.215(a)(4).
A missing or damaged guard leaves operators exposed to flying debris and can result in costly safety violations.
The ODIZ Universal Tongue Guard Kit is an affordable aftermarket solution that helps facilities stay compliant while improving grinder safety.
