Thanks.

As I thought, the shield covers only the chuck body, and seems a bit too
short (along the bedway) to catch coolant flung from the jaws. They do
make a larger/longer model, if I recall.


No, it does cover the jaws as well.

How well does it catch coolant? If I recall, you are using a soluble
oil of some kind.


Very well, after I added that rubber flap. Without the rubber flap it
would fling some coolant on my legs.
