- The Octane Chip Guard is designed to save you time! T-Slot tables have been a staple for years, with almost every machine built today utilizing them. While being extremely versatile, T-Slots trap chips within and decrease productivity.
- Made from the high temperature silicone, the Chip Guard is extremely durable, cost effective, and look great! Chips can be washed away with ease.
- Installation-No special tools are needed to install
1.) Measure the length you need and trim with a utility knife.
2.) Apply a rust preventative to the t-slot and along the cover, this protects your bare metal surfaces and aids in installation. We recommend McMaster Carr part# 10245K52 or LPS 3 for long term installation, WD-40 for short term.
3.) Pinch the flexible legs and press straight down into the t-slot. If the Chip Guard is difficult to install, place one end in the t-slot. Next, pull the opposite end with your free hand and begin pressing the Chip Guard along the groove from the starting side. Stretching the Chip Guard in this way reduces its width for the perfect fit. We prefer to press the Chip Guard until it is flush with the t-slots chamfer. The compressed silicone will retain itself for a very secure hold.
