Posted on the other site in response to a thread about 8020 enclosures.
Just recently semi-completed a new chip/coolant guard for the table.
Since the shop is small and tightly packed, as well as the fact I use Kurt vise(s) that hand out the front of the machine, I choose to make the guard follow the table instead of enclosing everything. Also made a new chip tray for the front that hopefully will help keep the chips and coolant inside the machine somewhat.

Now to figure a better way of at least slowing down the chips at the back.....
