Subject: Re: Request for ideas for lathe Z axis ballscrew covers

Ballendo,

Sorry if I was unclear but I wasn't suggesting using 35mm film as a
screw cover, I was just citing it as an example for the concept. Some
very thin steel, similar to a tape measure, should work. The only
issue I see with the design is that the shield diameter will get
fairly large on longer screws.

Regards,
Mike
