wow, I always wondered if I could get way cover replacements for my mill -- $900 for just the x axis from Goretite. The Series I Bridgeport is much more reasonable.
You'll pay through the nose for a "bellows", which is just a fancy shock boot. Look around the net for "mini" shock boots for motorcycles and mountain bikes. You can expext to pay between $15 and $35 per axis.

Thanks Jay C. That looks right up my street
The company that I have used is www.skirting-and-bellows.com which their cost was around 250.00 (ea). You might give them a try...
I know a lot of engineers that are running the machines without bellows right now due to the slow economy and lack of funds...I can't say that I recommend that though as the machine and operator are put in harms way without any covers.
