Tools and devices I have tried that work

Craig, @holla2040 here is a topic that discusses and gives links to the silicone bowl:

CNC plasma table silicon torch shield (cheap!)

I bought these silicon cups on Amazon, initial test seems positive, I’ll let you know how it holds up! Stops the Z axis getting splashed and contains the post flow splash up too, also shields the arc and you can easily move it up and down for alignment. https://amzn.to/2U49fBG

Edit: On that thread, the first link takes you French Amazon site and the item is a silicone mug. I would imagine it is more durable than the silicone funnel that is also referenced.

I found a similar listing in the U.S. Amazon:

Edit #2: After cutting a bunch of 14 gauge aluminum last week, it makes me think, something like this would be worth trying. Since the title of this thread is [Tools and devices I have tried that work], I can’t really say that I have seen this work.
