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.
On occassion we get a good stiff North wind that blows dirt in, swirls around dust and would send the lightweight plastic cover sailing like a leaf in the wind. Along with using Boeshield - T-9 Premium Metal Protection, I now have the type of moisture protection that can handle Michigan's weather extremes. I use the large size (56"x72") HTC Tool Saver Machine Cover to protect my Miter Saw and Table from damage caused from moisture, dust, oil and anything else that could gum up the works. The weighted HTC Tool Saver Cover stays put keeping my tools undercover, protected from dust and grime. ~ The Boss I also have the Tool Saver Machine Cover, Medium (36-Inch x 56-Inch) to protect my grinder and stand. My tools are stored in my unattached 2 1/2 car garage/workshop and, as the good doctor previously mentioned in his review, other covers easily blew off when using fans, blowers and, in my case, sometimes just opening the garage door.
