General Mach Discussion / Swarf in Keyboard and Mouse!! Ahhhh!
« on: February 20, 2009, 12:52:12 PM »
Dear All, I'm getting really bothered by swarf in the keyboard and mouse with my CNC lathe setup (ORAC + MACH3).
Its shielded but the sharp, springy and keyboard-deadly stuff gets everywhere. I even had an unexpected event (i.e. crash ) when a bit of swarf lodged in the side of the jog key and held it down!!
I just wondered what the more established users do to solve this problem.
I'm thinking vertical keyboard with integrated roller ball - but I expect its uncomfortable to use?
Any pics, advice and suggested products greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Woody.
