Milwaukee 7 in. Type 27 Grinding Guard
Model Number: 49-12-0010
The Milwaukee 49-12-0010 is a genuine OEM 7 in. Type 27 Grinding Guard replacement part for compatible Milwaukee 7 in. angle grinders. The grinding guard is a mandatory safety component required by OSHA standards and Milwaukee's tool operating requirements — it must be installed and properly adjusted at all times during angle grinder operation to shield the operator from grinding wheel fragments, sparks, and debris ejected at operating speed. A cracked, damaged, or missing guard is immediate grounds for removing the tool from service until the guard is replaced with a correct OEM component. Replacing a worn or damaged guard with a genuine Milwaukee OEM part ensures correct dimensional fitment to the grinder body, proper clearance geometry between the guard and the wheel, and the structural integrity engineered to function as a protective barrier in the event of a wheel failure at operating speed.
The Type 27 designation specifies the depressed-center wheel profile this guard accommodates — Type 27 is the most common wheel type used in grinding and cutting applications, with a recessed hub that positions the abrasive surface below the wheel's mounting flange. This guard provides the correct geometry and clearances for safe operation with Type 27 depressed-center grinding and cutting wheels on compatible Milwaukee 7 in. grinders. Always verify compatibility with your specific Milwaukee grinder model number and serial number before ordering any replacement safety component, as guard specifications vary by grinder model.
