The other one is well out of the way and lots of people run without it. It is handy to be able to grab the (stationary!) large pulley to rotate the chuck when using taps and dies in the lathe. I have thought about removing mine on my ML7 for that reason, having grown used to it on my unguarded old Drummond. But in the end made a spindle crank handle instead, which works even better.

Otherwise, fabricate the other half of of the gaurad and fit the complete assembly. It would be a major disaster to slip or stunble and grab a rotatingb pulley to save yourself! Many hours of pleasure, using the lathe, lie ahead of you. Howard
