Milwaukee 4-1/2 in. Type 27 Guard Assembly
Model Number: 43-54-1100
The Milwaukee 43-54-1100 is a genuine OEM Type 27 Guard Assembly replacement for compatible Milwaukee 4-1/2 in. angle grinders — the mandatory safety wheel guard that must be installed at all times during angle grinder operation. The wheel guard is required by OSHA standards and Milwaukee's tool operating requirements — it provides a protective barrier between the operator and the rotating abrasive wheel or cutting disc, shielding the operator from wheel fragments, sparks, and debris ejected at operating RPM, and providing containment in the event of abrasive wheel breakage or fracture. A cracked, deformed, or missing wheel guard is immediate grounds for removing the tool from service — the grinder must not be operated without the correct guard installed and properly adjusted to the wheel being used.
The Type 27 designation specifies the wheel profile this guard is designed for — Type 27 depressed-center wheels are the most common wheel type used in grinding and cutting applications on angle grinders. The guard assembly attaches to the 4-1/2 in. grinder's guard mounting collar for the specific Milwaukee grinder model it is designed for. Milwaukee manufactures this guard to the correct dimensional specifications for the specific grinder model's guard mounting points and 4-1/2 in. wheel diameter — a guard with incorrect dimensions would not mount securely or provide adequate wheel coverage. Always verify your specific Milwaukee 4-1/2 in. grinder model number and serial number at milwaukeetool.com before ordering replacement guard components.
