Ian, The magnets are totally enclosed inside the aluminum housings and any swarf attracted to the outside of the housing will be easily cleaned off.

I have fitted a guard to cover the 'X' axis RDO to minimise swarf getting to the bar.

Thanks for that Robert, I think I'll stick to my chain drive, it's even more vulnrible to swarf, and it does not cause any problems.
