The zinc-plated extension tube, to which the polycarbonate
and steel shields are fastened, is mounted to
the headstock of the lathe by a mounting bracket.



There are two principal types
of mounting brackets available.
Type A is used for
mounting to the top or the
side of the headstock. Type B
is used for mounting to the
inside face of the headstock.




For difficult mounting conditions,
bracket Type A1 may be
used. This bracket incorporates
a telescopic height adjustment
(up to 2") and can be swiveled
up to an angle of 90° as
required.




Bracket type B2 is a two-socket mounting. It can
be fastened to the face of the headstock where
shields with different diameters may be used. It
accommodates 3-jaw and 4-jaw chucks. The inner
socket is used for the 3-jaw chuck shield. When
changing over to a 4-jaw chuck, the shield is
removed from the inner socket and replaced by a
larger diameter shield inserted into the outer
socket. This accommodates the 4-jaw chuck. See
illustration below.




The steel (page 17) and transparent (page 19) lathe
chuck shields can be interlocked to the motor
starter. When the chuck shield is lifted up, the
contact on the switch is opened. This causes the
machine to stop. The switch is attached to a
heavy-duty mounting bracket.
This interlocking bracket assembly includes
mounting bracket LXS-652.
