Getting very short of ideas now, but the workshop is nearly ready for me to get back into.

This is the interlocked guard that came with the machine. The interlock was disconnected soon after I installed the machine because you would be half way thru a cut, tap the guard and the machine would stop.
It is also a pig to set up every time you raise or lower the table.
So it has now been removed.
Squared up a lump of nylon I had laying about.
Milled a 1/8" groove along the length
On the opposite side to the groove, I plunge milled a 12mm cutter to 6.5mm deep. I also drilled some 3mm holes thru from the other faces so that I could hold the perspex sheet to the nylon bar.
Using some fast acting Loctite, some neodindiuminumium magnets were stuck into the holes.
The lot was fixed along the bottom of some perspex that used to be a guard.
With this setup, I can use it as is, on the RT and the main table.
It is much more versatile than the old one.
The only problem is when cutting ferrous materials, the magnets get 'clogged' up, but it is soon cleaned off when the job is finished.
