I know you mentioned that you wanted bellow style covers, so do I but I decided to go with a tip I got from my pal Art. I went down to Home Depot and bought some black rubber ribbed carpet runner. It is about the same as the factory covers on my Lathemaster mill and $12.00 bought enough to make a replacement cover for the Y axis to the column and I also made a kinda drape that goes on underneath the Z axis slide to cover the ballscrew behind there. When I made the Y axis one I made it considerably wider than the stock one and it seems to work very well. The stuff is very slightly thinner than the factory stock but is kinda reinforced in the back and that roll will probably allow me to replace the covers several times before I need to buy a new roll... I even put a piece on my knee mill to replace the worn covers on that machine too... just a thought man....peace |
