I was getting annoyed at having chips flying in my face and across the garage. After a few moments of thinking, I came up with the following setup:
 |
| Panels Set up near vise |
The front Shield consists of a wood base with a slot for a piece of lexan milled into it. Both the front and the side pieces are attached to the mill table using magnets from old Hard drives. These magnets are used to move the head in and out and are made from high-energy rare earth magnets. This means, that they REALLY stick well. :)
 |
| Hdd Magnet mounted to base of front window |
 |
| HDD Magnet and mounting block for side panel |
In use, the front shield keeps chips off of the operator (me) while still allowing me to see the cut. The side walls keep the chips near the machine instead of having them fly all the way across the garage.
