Free-standing Splashguard?

 

The splashguard on my 7x16 is always getting in the way. It seems a free-standing splashguard 18" wide and 6" higher than the top of the chuck would suffice. Pretty much just a giant sheetmetal bookend.

I could cut one with our makerspace's plasma cutter and bend it on the metal shop brake.

As a newbie, I find I'm not having new ideas, just stumbling on ideas others have had. Any plans out there?

I took my backsplash off when I added the X-Axis scale, so just let the wall behind my 7x16 catch any chips, then vacuum them up later (a lot of chips got over the backslash anyway, and it was a pain getting chips out from the space between the bed & backsplash anyway). did the same thing with his small lathes just to have better access.
 

Again, I just use cardboard as a large backsplash. If using a cooling system then it may not work.

My lathe came back splash.?
But there are cookie sheets?

Baking Sheet Sizes
There are five industry-standard baking sheet sizes.
Full-Size = 18” x 26”
2/3 Size = 16” x 22”
1/2 Size = 13” x 18”
1/4 Size = 9 1/2” x 13”
1/8 Size = 6 1/2" x 9 1/2”

Can also used as a chip pan too.?
This what like to put on chip pan for easy clean up.?
Soon or later my wife want new non stick pans no cost.

A fabricated free standing splash guard doesn't have to be metal.? Cardboard was mentioned.? I would probably use a piece of Masonite.? But fairly thin MDF or plywood would be fine.

Thanks Jaques! Using the translate option in my mail client makes it far easier to understand your posts!

The only issue with using magnets to pick up the swarf is that aluminum and brass (as well as stainless steel aren’t magnetic :-)

Using the plastic bag is a great idea; in fact I have a magnet stuck in a Ziplock on my bench for just that reason! It’s also really useful for cleaning up on the bench in general after cutting, filing or drilling stock, too.

I have sometimes considered making some sort of enclosure for the magnets like this:?

Only 5-6” long to use as a ‘bench sweeper’.?

I got one of these a bunch of years ago when they re-roofed my house, even after they claimed to have cleaned it ?all up, I probably picked up a couple pounds of roofing nails and other detritus around the house.?

Dear Dave,

Just a thought.
I enlarged the splash guard, moving it both further back and extending it slightly, by using part of the case from an old desktop PC case. I also made mine easier to remove. L shaped slots. (Similar metal thickness.)
It might be worth considering that route. Fortunately for me, the metal PC cover was a very good match for the Chester(UK) 7 x 12 colours at that time.?

Regards,

David (UK)?
