??? ??? I like that vacuum approach , sounds like ya been down this road before . thanks animal

I will look for it on Amazon. Sounds like a material I could use for multiple projects.

Kydex(R) is an inexpensive thermoformable plastic much beloved by DIY sheath makers. (A square foot of .080" sheet costs around $6 on Amazon.) It forms nicely in hot (375°F) air from a hobbyist

Here's the thread cover I made for our 14.5" tool room dated 1943 at Golden Valley Light Railway. Another piece of sheet metal attached to the same TTA clamp bolt would cover the TTA. I would fit

??? ??? DO ya have a 3D printer , or access to one ? animal

As "generous" as your offer is, I could not do that to you. Sadly, I think I have used it once in 3 years.

Sheet Kydex, heated and shaped and cut to suit, with three or four rare-earth magnets artfully glued to it where they will match to the taper attachment? Or sheet acrylic, if you want

??? ??? Ya could just remove the taper attachment & send it to me , I'd take one for the team . I think they had covers like yer askin about for the Craftsman lathes . I think there's a few

I have a SB9A with taper attachment. I would like to fashion a cover for the cross slide and taper attachment as it seems like the most time consuming area to clean. There does not seem to be an

They would need a system that was impossible to break. Might be just the ticket for something that ran in a tube, though. Though someone skipping just one maintenance check/refill on the oil or grease
