9x20 Motor Protector (chips)

[T Hilde]

My lathe doesn't have a chip guard and I have been concerned about the motor and it's location. This seemed to be the cheapest and fastest way to ease the concern.

9X20 lathe motor protector. Makes it harder for chips to get pulled in the motor.

Nice move, i thought my old 9x20 motor must be sealed because of the mounting location, after a loud bang and bright flash from arcing i realised it wasn't

That looks like a great idea. I think I will use it on my combination machine. I've always been concerned about the location of the motor as well.

It will help keep the magic smoke down.

That's what we are all trying to accomplish. Lol

One more modification to add to the 9X20. I have made probably 70 mods now. I don't think it will ever be totally finished. You do a mod and a slightly more efficient one comes along. The lathe looks and reacts more professionally now. LOL

Now that was a neat and simple idea, definitely employs the KISS philosophy. Thanks for sharing!
