Can it be used without the guard (with, for example, the 3M Scotch Brite Bristle Disk)?

I cut stone with my unit, without the guard all the time. watch your fingers, because it will cut them no problem.

Yes you can use it without the guard but you are removing the safety feature and it could sling something and hit you.

Definitely. I've done the exact thing without problems, also w/other wheels and flap discs. My work is virtually all grinding, so cut-offs might be problematic.

It comes with a guard. If you want to cut, you can put on a cutoff wheel instead of a grinding wheel.

Without using the vacuum lid? I don't know, to be honest. Just be cautious using the vacuum.

The guard has four screws that can be removed. Safely sanding a radius would be the real issue

You can use this blade without a guard but you absolutely should were good safety glasses with side shields. Be sure you pay attention to the the orientation of the blade when you install it in the grinder. Good Grinding and Happy Trails!

Mine came with the guard. Since I also ordered a guard I now have two. I use a 16GB card, so a 4GB shouldn't be a problem. Note that Amazon uses different suppliers so product may vary.

I didn't know there were guards for this, but I would check with Andis or whoever makes it.....after checking amazon of course! :-)

I don't have a bowl guard at all. So I would say yes you can use it that way. I'm not sure I've ever seen a bowl guard.

Not sure whats the shortest, but no risk for cut wo guard, i use it only wo the guard

Yes, but be sure the dog is freshly shampooed or the blades won't last and be sure the blades are lubed. If you use the vacuum feature be sure to keep the softer skin pulled tight or it will be sucked up into the blades and that will not bode well, but that is not a issue when you are using a guard. When trimmimg around its face ti might be best to shut off the vacuum.

Yes but you may have to remove the guard if they don't clear. Not a big deal. You don't need the guard and you should always wear a shield for eye protection anyway. Always wear gloves and denim shirt with long sleeves because you don't want the grinding wheel to burn your skin if you accidentally touch it.

i cannot say yes or no because i use it without the guard to prep for shaving. it isnt the smallest shaver...but is not hard to hold for me. the vacuum does require it be held a little differently though

I've never been able to remove the guard but I imagine that you could so long as you can remove the guard.

I'm not sure re the item you mention. It is not part of the mixer package to my knowledge. But to answer your question, no wire guard is needed. This mixer is wonderful...a real workhorse. I am still thrilled with it after a year. I have a home baking business so it gets used 24/7! It was a great purchase for me!

I don't think so. The guard itself is very flimsy and moves while you open and close the door, sometimes blocking the door! Don't buy it, buy something thats of harder material.

No-The guard works with the cutter working as a scissor kind of action, so you would have to change the guard as well- all in all I really don't really think it would be worth trying to change out the whole assy.

Yes. There are 4 tiny screws that hold the guard in place. With these removed it will come off. This is an amazing unit. Does everything as advertised at good USB 3.0 speeds. My only complaint is that it only has 1 hard drive dock.
