I've seen those cheap cutting boards at the Dollar Tree . Ya
could heat up a magnet & push it into that material . I knew
I'd heard of Kydex before so I did a google . They use it for
pistol holsters .

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?

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.? :) :)
