The best leadscrew guard ever
« on: June 21, 2026, 02:59:13 pm »
Hi All,
About 10 years ago I made a "temporary"  fosters lager leadscrew guard for the myford.
Now the worst for wear I've replaced with upgraded carlsberg design.
Simple enough but probably the best leadscrew guard in the world .
......other brands are available!!!!!!@

I think you may need to try several other brands to ensure you get the optimum guard?  ;)
Best regards

Would a sturdier guard come from a can of stout?   :ROFL:   Use a Pilsner for brass, ...   :LickLips:
