Came across this – unusual mill Y slide swarf protection!

Note the neat paintbrush swarf sweeper.

Its a LinuxCNC video – limited interest, but the first 30 seconds of interest – the rest makes one ill.

An effective solution and probably easy to clean.

I have been trying to think of a way to add the type of cover they have on large CNC machines. The multi-sheet telescopic type that remain flat.

As a temporary measure I have installed a high temperature barbecue grill mat (from amazon) cut to size. It does need to be managed occasionally but it keeps the swarf off the ways.

I love the brush, very imaginative.

I have also used Breakbane many years ago. Not cheap in the day but a professional product made for work.
