Z-axis retract loosing steps problem figured out

Seems like there is another detective around. V wheels jamming due to chips
I may look at extraction again. It’s just so much easier to set the bit, close the door and hit go, and not have to deal with a dust boot. I can’t find a Z-wheel cover. I saw the Y and X, just not a Z. I love the bellows @Vince.Fab made for his Z. I was thinking that bellows would be the best way to deal with the problem. I would want them on top and bottom.
I do get stuff stuck on my X and Y rails and clean that off pretty often. I could see where brushes may help with that, but I don’t think brushes or wipers would help with what I found, chips falling in the top of the wheel at the rail.
