Felt for way wipers

I've taken to using neoprene rubber - doesn't seem to trap small swarf quite so easily.

AWEM

I got some felt from a guy who has a stall at various old engine rallies, he supplies material for the stationary engine crowd,. The stuff looks the part. I've used piano felt in the past, it works but even the hardest is a bit on the soft side.

I've got some machine way wipers, a neoprene (or similar) squeegee form with a steel reinforcing strip moulded in. Got far more than I'll use in my life time, I'll gladly trade some for beer vouchers for anyone in need.

My gut feeling is that the squeegee type will be good as long as nothing gets past them. If it does, it'll grind back & forth for ever, whereas a felt wiper will pick up small particles & they hopefully won't do so much harm embedded in the felt.
