So don't count on the cover keeping liquids off your tools. On each occurrence, the liquid went right through the cover and I ended up with a big rust stain on the table saw. Liquids have been spilled on my table saw with the cover on more than once. I of course did not know it.
I bought some hem tape from a craft store to repair the removal slits. I bought some relatively cheap.5" neodymium magnets to replace the worthless things that are stitched into the covers. I do not sew. I bought several of medium and large sizes. The slightest breeze sends all the covers flying.
I plan on buying more of these this cover is as advertised. it lets the machine breathe, but keeps the dust off.
Strange but true. but I have found that I make a more concerted effort to clean my machines before I put the covers over them. I don't know if anyone else will find this to be true.
I am covering everything including my lawn tractor and snow blower in their off-season. They are pricey I suppose but I will always have them on my machines esp. Just received my third order.
in our wetter climate. I have yet to find condensation or rust under one of the covers.
The magnets are handy and help hold down the cover just by their weight alone.
These covers are not cheap but they work extremely well. When I removed the cover not one drop had penetrated to the cast iron surface. Buy them and use them if you want your tools to last longer. As I wrote earlier about a larger cover for my table saw, even one of my barn cats couldn't penetrate with a liquid critique of one of my recent projects. I am a believer. The dust that settles on and in the motors of your machines can contain things other than wood fibers which are bad enough (think sap). Silicates or other abrasives can also be in the air to wear down intricate parts.
