Extending Swarf Guard, Readers’ Tips in MEW #251

[Paul FallertParticipant @paulfallert28101]

Peter Smith suggested a rather clever solution to lathe swarf problem.

1) Is it a case of gravity nesting the folds of the bellows? Or is there something else not obvious to me? I have been trying this idea and the sticky slideway oil on the ways tends to stick the loose bellows rubber to the ways.

2) The large bellows piece (toward the headstock in the photo) appears to be very close to the chuck diameter.
