Show Me Your Milling Machine Chip Guards

[Janderso]

There has to be a better way to do this. I cut some plexiglass/polycarbonate? in a 3 panel affair that gets in the way and does a lousy job of containing the chips.
I'm hoping I can get some cheap and effective ideas to fabricate a better deflector.
Magnets are a pain in a machine shop.
Thank you,
Jeff

Clough42 built a tidy enclosure for his mill using Coreplast Coroplast panels, aluminum angle and zip ties. He has a benchmill but I thought using Coroplast was a good idea.
Edited to correct Coreplast to Coroplast

Not sure what Coreplast is. I'll see if I can find it.

I guess you mean Coroplast? It does look promising and very cheap.

 

[DavidR8]

Whoops yes, Coroplast...
Signs at convenience stores are often made from Coroplast.
My dad used to help out at his corner store and they gave him loads of the things.

Real men don't use chip gaurd's. We revel in the smell of burning nostril hair, and the honor of scared forearms. Mike
