    Way cover apron on a Torq -Cut 22

    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.

    I have just gotten my TC 22 back into service and had to repair the shield just last week. The former owner had kept the machine going by removing the skirt and covering both sides with a layer of Gorilla tape. Most of it seems to be in good shape with the only only one failure point ,where the skirt was taped to the L shaped mounting bracket. In a hurry I pop riveted two flat pieces of aluminum as a makeshift hinge point and started running her

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Was that for rebuild or replacement? That is a LOT less than I paid.

    New replacement. I assume I will have to drill the 2 mounting holes in the angle bracket but other than that it should be good to go.

    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.

    Sorry... the quote I got back from Hardinge for the Z cover was nuts. $466. It can be ordered custom elsewhere for less than half. I really need to order the Y cover before thy run out.

    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 cover

    hey... what do you know. they are the same part number... I should have ordered 2. I guess I snaked the last one though... sorry. 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.
