I had another idea for a way cover. I was a firefighter for 16 years, the material they made turnout gear out of is definitely heat resistant. I looked up Nomex and can get the material for $10 a yard. It isn't terribly heavy material so would definitely be flexible enough. With a yard I could probably make drapes for other areas of the machine that chips land on regularly that I'd prefer to keep them out of but it would be light enough to not bind things up. Hmmmm.
Nomex would absorb oils, and the chips would probably get snagged and stick in it.
