    Table covers

    Thought you might want to see my table covers. In running my machine I produce a lot of aluminum chips (65 pounds of them for every 500 part batch).
    Digging them out of the T-slots and washing down the machine every night was a pain. Now these covers catch the vast majority and because they are angled you can just brush the chips off the end.

    I used inexpensive clear acrylic, solvent welded together.

    Nice!
    Table stream liners!
    Use these along with the base stream liner detailed in another thread and swarf cleanup would go much faster.
    Thanks for sharing idea

    I was just reading the "Streamliner" thread again today. Finishing up the enclosure, kinda, and figure I may streamline it too.

    Those are nice.

    I use aluminum cookie sheets. Half size sheets fit perfectly on either side of a 5" vise in the center. I use nylon tape on the bottom so that the sheets can't mar or react to the table.
