Milwaukee 9 in. Type 27 Grinding Guard
Model Number: 49-12-0020
The Milwaukee 49-12-0020 is a genuine OEM Milwaukee 9 in. Type 27 Grinding Guard replacement part for Milwaukee 9 in. angle grinders including the 6088 and 6089 models. The grinding guard is a mandatory safety component that shields the operator from grinding wheel fragments, sparks, and debris ejected during grinder operation — OSHA standards and Milwaukee's tool operating requirements mandate that angle grinders be operated with the guard installed and properly adjusted at all times during use. A cracked, damaged, or missing guard is an immediate grounds for removing the tool from service and replacing the guard before resuming operation. Replacing a worn or damaged guard with a genuine Milwaukee OEM part ensures correct dimensional fitment, the proper wheel-to-guard clearance required for safe operation, and the structural integrity to function as a protective barrier in the event of an abrasive wheel failure at operating speed.
The Type 27 designation specifies the depressed-center wheel profile that this guard is designed to accommodate — Type 27 is the most common wheel type for grinding and cutting applications on angle grinders, with a recessed hub that positions the abrasive surface below the wheel's mounting flange. This guard provides the correct geometry and dimensional clearances for safe operation with Type 27 depressed-center grinding wheels and cutting wheels on compatible Milwaukee 9 in. grinders. Using an incorrect guard type or a guard with the wrong dimensional specifications for your specific grinder model creates unsafe wheel clearance conditions. Always confirm compatibility with your specific Milwaukee grinder model and serial number before ordering any replacement safety component.
Genuine Milwaukee OEM safety components ensure the correct fit and protection level engineered for each specific Milwaukee tool — do not substitute aftermarket guards that may not meet Milwaukee's dimensional and structural specifications for safe grinder operation.
