I did something similar on another lathe using a rubber mat. The
downside was chips stuck to the magnet, but not a big deal.
Never heard of Kydex until your reply, so I learned something
regardless. Is that the material they use for cutting boards? Is
there a cheap item commonly sold made of it that I could experiment?

Sheet Kydex, heated and shaped and cut to suit, with three
or four rare-earth magnets artfully glued to it where they
will match to the taper attachment? Or sheet acrylic, if you
want transparency...?
Yes. I know, it's quick and dirty but it will
keep the debris off and you won't be heartbroken if it falls
on the floor ... oh yes, and it isn't likely to scratch the
ways :)
Yes, I have several shields I made this way
and I still love them.? :) :)
