Description

Electrical Interlocking Mounting Bracket (E.I.M.B.)

This device replaces the existing mounting bracket when an automatic shutoff is needed for lathe operations. Electrical Interlocking Mounting Brackets (E.I.M.B.) can beused with any Flexbar Latheguards or Small Chuckguards. Available in 4 different mounting styles, the E.I.M.B. units will ensure safe operations by requiring that the guard is down before the machine can be turned on.

Available in 4 Different Mounting Styles: Bright yellow painted finish.
