If you have a small lathe, you know how important it is to keep the bed guides and cross slide clean. These items dedicated to the Proxxon #PD250/E lathe will make cleaning this machine very easy and protect sensitive parts from dust and metal chips. Mounting with magnets makes it easy to quickly put on and remove the covers to shed chips and clean up the whole thing.

great and cheap idea thanks for sharing
Hi , thanks for your nice feedback.
Great 👍
Used it- and works great. Thank you!
I'm glad it's useful for you too.
Great idea!!!
Perfect fit! Thank you!!
I'm glad it's useful for you too.
Hi! Amazing idea.
Can you please design stl files for covers for the space between the support and the tailstock assembly?
Hi,
sorry for the delay - I had a busy time, etc.
Thanks for the nice feedback.
I personally don't need the cover you mentioned but I might do it someday - thanks for the idea.
I don't have as much time for this hobby as I would like to have :(
Can you please make the changes to stl file so we can print it for pd400 too?
Seems you have done pretty good job..
I can help with dimensions if you point me what you want to measure.
Thanks
Hi,
Yes, I could modify it - it's no problem for me, but I don't have access to a PD400 lathe.
So you would have to send me a drawing with the exact shape and dimensions as well as the positions in which the magnets should be placed (make sure these places are made of steel and not for example, aluminum, etc)
It would be best to make a prototype, e.g. from cardboard, to check if everything fits, etc.
Does it matter how you glue the magnets in (disc magnets are usually axially magnetized)?
Hello,
I used cheap magnets where one side is magnetized as the N pole and the opposite side is the S pole.
In my opinion, the specific pole does not matter, but I attached all of them with the same pole on the outside. Works very well.
Good, but how can you magnet your pieces on ALUMINIUM ???
Hi,
The mounting locations for the magnets have been specially selected to adhere to the steel parts.
There is no aluminum in these places. Check it in your lathe - you will be positively surprised.
