    Great, please post your mod when it is ready.
    One note on the magnets. I know they attract all the chips but you can wrap them with a bit of aluminum foil
    and then the cleanup is at least workable. I have one large cap screw on my lathe for the carriage stop and
    don't want to take up any more space in that area with a knob/lever etc. So I just use a neodymium magnet
    to cover that one. I think it works great even though it is a bit of a pain to clean. It keeps that cap screw head clean!

    Cheers, JR
