HI guys,

What do you use for a dust cover on your screws and or rails?where do you get dust covers?

Or do you really need a dust cover? I would think that it would help prolong the life of the screw.


Thanks

The bellows dust covers are a fortune and get damaged easily.

On my moving table machine I used 16oz vinyl sheeting/tarp/banner material.

Strap one end of a sheet to the moving table and drape other over the end of the base of the machine.
I bolted some angle iron to the free end to keep tension on it.

Although not really dust proof it will keep the chips & cutting oil out.

It's low cost, easy to remove & replace.
