Sherline 5330 - Safety Glasses

*Style of saftey glasses is subject to change.

We simply cannot overstate the importance of wearing high quality safety glasses when performing any machining operation. Regular glasses are not designed to withstand the impact of a flung piece of metal and can shatter, causing even more damage.
