Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Protecting lead screws

John, I think they'll work ok as it is. My table is 14" by 8". I'm thinking attaching an end to each side of the table and maybe mounting a bracket at the ends of each axis and attach the bellows to them. I'm thinking the bellows should be long ane wide enough to cover the linear slides, screws, and steppers. I'll play around with and see how it goes.

Also any shoe repair place would stitch them
togther for a few bucks with heavy-duty nylon.

You could end up with a 5 ft. piece for less than $40.00
