The DC3 Z Stage Foil is a protective foil fitted to the Z-stage assembly of the DC3 lathe. It provides a barrier against swarf, dust, coolant, and other contaminants generated during machining, helping to protect the underlying stage components and maintain reliable operation.
The foil is designed to accommodate the movement of the Z stage while maintaining coverage of the protected area. It is a replaceable consumable component and should be inspected regularly for signs of wear, damage, or loss of protection.
