Ideas on how to attach guard to mill?

[Cr23484]

Hi everyone,
Any info on how this guard could be safely attached to my G0755 mill ?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Both sides move for access to the tooling.
Thanks

How about a photo of it sitting on your mill to give us a better idea of what you have.

I think he meant sitting on the mill as you would like for it to be so that we can also see the mill in a way that we can understand the big picture!

I've tried various guards like that, end up not using them cuz they just get in the way. Easier to have a dedicated vacuum setup beside the mill.
When I did use them, I attached them with magnets to the table.

Here are a few pics of how I would like to attach it.

I would think mount it to the quill bracket where the depth stop rod attaches to. I have a different variation of the same mill, that's where I mounted my quill DRO & custom made depth stop.

Not trying to discourage you but IMO something like that will get it in the way more often then being useful. I use a chip shield that just mounts anywhere I want on the table with a mag base. I'm not a fan of chip shields that mount around the spindle.
