Splash guard drawing

[HoboMachinist77]

Does anyone happen to have a technical drawings of the splash guard for an grizzly g4003/g? Or enco 12x36 100-2079? I'm planning on making one with modifications. Or could I get some measurements?

I can't help you with the measurements, though I am sure other HM members may be able to to come up with something up soon.
I am, however, much interested in what you get up to in actually making it. Do post a picture or two when you have got it together.

You bet!

Do you think that may be the same size and fit as the Grizzly g9249, which is the belt drive 12x37 lathe? I have the busybee equivalent of that one and could try to get you some measurements.

It seems you are "overthinking" the situation. A piece of ~3/16 Plexiglas or Lexan, (HomeDepot or Lowes window glass repair) a hinge, and a hair dryer will make just about whatever you want. I don't use a chip shield on my lathe, I like to see what I am doing. But I have made several guards for other machines over the years. "Double strength" glass replacement is sufficient, I use scraps from a plastics supplier. The 3/16 is arbitrary. . .

I could do that. I use plexiglass at work and I find it works great for a smaller shields. Though I find it breaks easily..gets dirty and stays dirty....and chips melt their way in. Well! Not in my shop! I'm going full send. I was going to just buy one from grizzly...but they are kind of expensive when you think about it.

Try Lexan. . . Plexi is an acrylic, Lexan is a polycarbonate. It stands up in many applications where Plexi will fall down.
