    Default Way Protection

    Does anyone know of a cheap source of "way covers" for the Taig?

    I need some "accordian" style covers as the stock ones keep bunching up one me and give less than perfect protection.

    Default Not really

    Too expensive. Looking for something more like what littlemachineshop.com sells. I may end up just getting 2 or 3 of their pieces of way cover material.

    [Here's the best source I've found for that sort of thing. http://www.gortite.com/bellows.htm Not cheap, but it's the real deal. How much extra would you be willing to pay for bellows-style waycovers for the Taig? Is it just the Y-axis screw you thinkj needs protection, or do you want to cover the Z axis as well?]

    Default Cost way too high...

    I want the Y and Z. I had come across these way covers, but not sure they are going to be worth it. Will look closer at these though, thanks.

    I hear you on the expense factor. I've thought about making them myself, using 2-part silicone rubber and gauze cloth. I use this stuff for making molds, and it seems like it wouldn't be too hard to come up with a positive bellows form to cast it onto- either an old camera bellows (if you can find one the right size) or just cutting the shape out of a piece of wood. If it was shaped that way, I'd think it would act that way, and silicone rubber is fairly impervious as well as flexible.
