I saw this article tonight and thought I would pass along. I know we have a lot of hobby mills and I am not sure which of the present hobby design may come with wipers or protection over the length of the screw like my larger cnc mill.

I have been trying to either make some felt wipers and screw covers or just call Thomson and buying a few wipers for the hobby mill. Last time when I cleaned them there was a lot of Swarf and micro-swarf all over the screws. I feel it will get inside on the small swarf stuff.
