Abstract: A splash shield and cuttings guard for a glass router comprises a side shield and an eye shield formed of transparent plastic sheet material. The side shield consists of a C-shaped horizontal base plate with an upstanding wall about the outer margin and a depending flange about the inner margin, the flange fitting over the rim of a glass router housing about the back and sides of a work table above a liquid coolant reservoir. Liquid flung outwardly by the router grinding wheel is intercepted by the wall and returned via the base plate and the depending flange to the reservoir for reuse. The eye shield consists of an upstanding section in front of the housing, a diagonal section at the top thereof extending rearwardly over the router work table, and a rearwardly extending lower flange with openings engaging feet on the bottom of the router housing.
