The Axminster Professional Universal Chuck Guard is a safety upgrade, compatible with most pillar drills and vertical mills. It’s easy to install using just two bolts and comes with a mounting bracket, which secures to the side of your drill. The large, clear shield gives you excellent visibility of your work while helping to protect you from the rotating chuck.
A key feature of this chuck guard is its integrated rotary micro switch that can connect to your drill’s NVR switch. This means the drill won’t run unless the guard is in place, adding an extra layer of safety. The guard is fitted as standard on Axminster Professional pillar drills, making it a trusted choice for both professional workshops and safety-conscious hobbyists. Whether you're upgrading an existing drill or outfitting a new one, this universal guard offers a practical and reliable solution for safer drilling operations.
