Maybe some has already worked this out - I have my lathe and mill in the same shop I do my electronic stuff, and, strangely enough, metal chips are not a good thing re equipment. Running the lathe at its slowest speed keeps them controllable, ie they don't fly across the room, but slow speed has its limitations. (And even with slow speed and meticulous cleanup, its only a matter of time before Mr Murphy visits)
So, has anyone devised a simple, cheap, drop down chipguard that will prevent this - its a 9 by 20 lathe, possibly hingeing something off the back chip guard would do it. Home made preferably...
