3018 CNC Spindle Cover or Guard

thingiverse

Ok I made this because I was swapping out drink coasters on my 3018 CNC to start a new batch and accidently touched the engraver bit and jerked back and up and 6 stitches later on my middle finger I now use this all the time. I know its not needed and all that stuff but I need it and you may want to to. My son is 10 and is learning CNC and needs to learn safety over hurrying. So now safety glasses and this cover or removal of the bit is what he does. So here it is. Use it if ya want to. It snaps on and snaps off and is long enough for most engravers and end or side mill bits. It saves us time and keeps fingers intact.
