anyone have the measurements of the front Y axis way cover apron? Mine has been missing since I got the machine. I have been able to a get around this by using a small amount of Y travel so the table keeps the ways covered but my new fixture plat uses a lot of travel and I don't want the way and ballscrew exposed while machining.

Mine has been taped back together with Gorilla Tape so it might not be the original size. It's now 16 inches wide by 14 inches long. It seems to cover and work well.Quote:

I did find that you can order the piece from a company so if you want I'll find the info for you.. I have no idea how much they want as they have an "Ask for Quote" form on the website.
I am getting a quote. I imagine it will be cheaper per unit to get multiples if you (or anyone else for that matter) are interested.
Do you have the dimensions for the Z apron? the PO of my mill replaced it with a sheet of rubber, it works, it just looks half assed.

MIne is half there..... I'll be back later with the measurements...Quote:

I bought mine from dissen (bp-parts.com). When it arrived it had a magnet with the manufacturers name and indicated they can rebuild them. I'll get the name and number on Monday.
I have the leaves I pulled off. I'll take a photo and maybe they can be put to good use by someone. ;)
BTW, the quote I got was nutz. did you get the name off the magnet?

I have a complete rear cover that likely could be repaired and a few pieces from the front.
Update: The phone number is correct. A&A Manufacturing is now Dynatect Manufacturing https://dynatect.com/

I got the quote back from dynatect... ~$150 plus shipping each. I imagine the Z cover is a bit more but I don't have the measurements for the z cover.
Lead time is stated as 30 days.
Let me know if anyone else is interested.
Richard
Was that for rebuild or replacement? That is a LOT less than I paid. ;)Quote:

Hardinge sells them. I believe the part number is the same for the Y and Z axis. If you get the part number out of the book and go to hardinge website you can look it up. If I remember correctly they were somewhere around 130 or 150 in price.
I was shocked that their price was that low.

Richard
You must have ordered the last one. It was in stock one minute and then gone. Parts book lists the same number for the Y and Z axis link coverQuote:

I will be talking to them on Monday to see if they have extras for you. They do have the rear covers if needed, albite for $1000. I think someone had it custom made for a lot less.
Richard
Just an update. the way covers finally arrived. hopefully in the next few weeks I get a chance to try them on.
