Universal Tongue Guard Replacement (7-10") W/Optional Eye Shield

Product Overview

The ODIZ Universal Tongue Guard Replacement (7–10") is a cost-effective solution for restoring OSHA 29 CFR 1910.215 compliance on larger bench grinders.
Instead of replacing the entire grinder, this universal kit allows you to replace missing, damaged, or obsolete tongue guards quickly and affordably.
Designed to fit most 7–10" grinders, this kit helps facilities maintain compliance while protecting operators from debris and unsafe wheel exposure.

Why Replace Your Tongue Guard?

OSHA requires bench grinder tongue guards (upper guards) to be adjusted to within 1/4” of the wheel per OSHA 1910.215(a)(4).
Missing or damaged guards not only expose operators to serious hazards but are also among the most common grinder-related citations during OSHA inspections.
The ODIZ Universal Tongue Guard Kit ensures compliance and extends the life of your grinder without the cost of full replacement.
