With 4 days of rain forecasted I decided to catch up on some projects for lathe. The first was a rear cutoff fixture. I wanted a cutoff tool that I could leave setup permanently and since I have a reverse I made it to cut normally and not upside down like many have made. I havent figured it all out yet but I want to put a mount for an indicator on it as well. Next up was a micro adjusting carriage stop inspired by a recent post. And third is a magnetically attached shield. The 8x14 lathe has a nice big flat surface above the chuck that I can just slide the shield back and forth, front and back to wherever I need. The single ¾ rare earth magnet has plenty of holding power and is just glued to the polycarbonate. I might put a small knob somewhere to facilitate moving it.
