Sherline CNC - Y axis cover

The Y axis components are very exposed, I had been trying to figure out an easy way to to cover them but always came back to the bellows. Not wishing to fabricate them from scratch I procrastinated.

Last weekend I found the answer in the basement of one of our local estate sales... the bellows from an old camera or developing machine. For $3 I picked up the full bellows, a little wider than a perfect fit but I think it looks OK.

The neat thing about the bellows is that it came with end plates and there are enough sides to make both front and rear covers. This picture shows both my camera bellows and my thin acetate front cover too.

I'll get the front cover converted to the bellows ASAP.
