BENCH GRINDER SAFETY SCALE, from Danray Products, checks openings between grinding wheels and tongues and work rests on bench grinders for compliance with OSHA and ANSI safety standards. Work rests must be kept adjusted closely to the wheel with a maximum opening of 1/8" to prevent the work piece from being jammed between the wheel and the rest, which may cause wheel breakage, according to Danray. In addition, the distance between the wheel periphery and the adjustable tongue must never exceed 1/4". The orange-colored scale is made of durable, 0.090"-thick anodized aluminum and has easy-to-read text and graphics that will not rub or scratch off. It is about the size of a credit card. The bench grinder safety scale sells for $7.50. Contact: Danray Products LLC, 11859 Deacon Drive, Rockton, IL61072-9411. Tel: 815-262-6667. www.danrayproducts.com
