This is Goretite, advertised in all those card packs that are sent out by
the trade magazines. I saw a quote for one at our machine shop, and
remembered it, as the leadscrews that I put on my milling machine came
with them, but they were old and just crumbled to pieces. The manufacturer
wanted about $260 for a 3' length af standard size bellows! Way out of
my price range.
