On the manifold, I have two needle-valve assemblies, one with 1/8" the

Probably the next project will be a shield to catch flung coolant. I
even got some on my eyeglasses.

Check out the style splash guards used on OmniTurn retrofitted CNC
lathes. The design works quite well on manual lathes and is easy to
build yourself.
I think I recall this from a few years ago, but I'm finding only full
enclosures. Have you a URL or two in mind?
