H-300-B Chip and Coolant Shield Owner's Manual

Installation and operation manual for the Hardinge H-300-B Chip and Coolant Shield, a machine tool accessory designed to contain coolant spray and metal chips during turning operations. The guide covers complete assembly procedures, from positioning the upright section and sliding shield assembly to installing the hinged section and extensions. Step-by-step instructions address bracket positioning, fastening all components securely with bolts and screws, and installing rollers on guide bars to ensure smooth shield movement. The hinged sections assemble with provided hardware and can be easily raised and folded away to grant quick access to the headstock and turret tooling without full removal. A rear handle facilitates chip removal and cleaning, while the integrated wing nut locking mechanism holds the assembly firmly in place during operation. Essential for machine shops and tool rooms setting up or maintaining the H-300-B system on turning centers and lathes.
