Posted By Stu Haysman We have two pedestal mounted manual polishing stations (two wheels on each). There are occasional (but sometimes serious) incidents where the parts being polished catch the wheel and are flung round between the guard and the wheel, hitting the operator on the way back out again. I have looked at decreasing the gap between the wheel and guard so the parts can't enter, but it's difficult to get it small enough to allow sufficient clearance without creating a new drawing-in hazard. I have been unable to find any clear guidance on the net (plenty for grinding wheels!), does anyone have any good ideas for a suitable control? Ta Stu

Posted By Chris Jerman One answer, but of course it's not always possible, is to mount smaller parts on a piece of wood or other backing. Using either a clamp or self tapping screw etc. This increases the mass and gives the operator something to hold. Any snags, then, are against a much larger object which can't be drawn in. CJ
