CNC Tooling Covers promote workplace safety

Built for use with 7 different models of Huot ToolScoot[R], tool covers protect machine operators from cuts and scratches inflicted when retrieving sharp tooling. Products also prevent cutting tools from getting nicked or dinged. Semi-transparent top reduces industrial espionage and let operator see tooling. It can be written on with dry erase marker. Covers are available in EDP No. 14000 for tapers 30, 35, 40, or HSK 63A and EDP No. 14015 for tapers 45, 50, or HSK 100A.

A new, Patent Pending Tool Cover for CNC tooling greatly increases worker safety while protecting valuable cutting tools. The new safety tooling cover easily covers sharp CNC tooling to keep people's arms from being cut open when reaching in to get tooling. Huot President John Huot explains "For years customers would ask us for a product that would prevent a person's arm from getting ripped open from the sharp tooling. It's such a common problem in the industry that people would show us scars on their forearms." Priced at $11.99 per Safety Tooling Cover, they are far cheaper than going to the emergency room for stitches.

The new safety tooling covers are built for use with 7 different models of the Huot ToolScoot[R]. They are available in EDP# 14000 for tapers 30, 35, 40 or HSK 63A and EDP# 14015 for tapers 45, 50 or HSK 100A. In addition to protecting machine operators from accidental injuries on sharp tooling, the covers keep other tooling from getting nicked or dinged as the tooling is retrieved. Covers are held in place with key hole slots molded in to their base and shoulder bolts installed on the ToolScoot[R].

The Safety CNC Tooling Covers feature a semi-transparent top. It reduces industrial espionage of unique tooling while allowing the operator to see the tooling. The top can be written on with dry erase marker. The covers keep staged tooling clean and ready to go for faster set-ups.
