In a few weeks we'll be going to the Canton Fair in China. This is the largest convention in the world and we're going when the focus is on machine tools. If you want proof not everything is made in the same factory or to the same standards, this is the place to be.

It's been a while since we've been to China for obvious reasons, but it will be good to get back and meet with many of our manufacturing partners and suppliers. We have always worked to add more USA-made and small machine shop sourced products to our site, but the fact is a lot of things are still only made abroad. By being present and maintaining good relationships, we can better insure they are made to the standards and specs we want.

This year we have a backlog of ideas and topics to discuss.

Clear (Magnetic) Chip Shield

This made-in-USA milling vise chip shield is a great add-on to any 3" or 4" milling vise in your shop. This quickly attaches to a vise to provide a reliable and adjustable chip shield. It's great for fly cutting and other "messy" jobs.

• Milling machine chip shield uses strong Neodymium magnets to mount to the front or back of a machine
• Conveniently remove without the hassle of fussing with tools or screws
• Adjustable friction hinges allow setting the side panels at any angle up to 150 degrees
• Compatible with any 3"- 4" milling vise with a flat surface on either end
• Approximate dimensions: 11 1/4" x 3 3/4" x 1/4"

These are made by our friend Pete “KWICK” Aronson. A great example of a small machinist making tools to solve some simple problems in his shop and then doing the very American thing of making it a business.

Chris' Tips



Use caution when placing the milling machine chip shield near the vise or any other metal object as the Neodymium magnets are very strong and will act to rapidly close the gap if they are unintentionally placed too close to the object.

We sell a more general Chip Shield on Magnetic Base as well.
