Home Made Stainless Chain Guard w/Pics.
Being bored on a rainy day and having a sheet of Stainless handy, I came up with this. Using the stocker as a rough guide I drew the general shape onto the sheet steel and cut it out using a "metal" blade on a jigsaw. Bending was achieved with a lead mallet
, bench top vise and wooden blocks. Once completed, I polished it to a mirror finish with a buffing wheel on my bench grinder. Opinions?

Thanks for the positive replies! I too prefer the clean look for the chain guard.

I can't promise they will hold. But I can promise you that a plastic guard won't!

I imagine that there is a a safety precedent for this; I don't think they just pulled it out of their butts!
