Thanks man!Don’t know what they are for. But great looking paint job!
Where did they come from?
My 10K has this deflector under the headstock. It kind of looks like the smaller one in your picture. I can't find it in the parts book, but my lathe is newer than the parts book I have. Not sure how it is attached and there is nothing like the larger one.
They do seem to be chip deflectors of some sort.
