Gaiters or bellows to protect DROs

[simondavies3Participant @simondavies3]

Can anyone help with suppliers of small section bellows to cover the digital read out units attached to my mill?

I installed a Shumatech system some time ago but quickly found the need to protect the DRO surfaces from any liquid. The design of my mill (X3 like) leaves little room for the DRO plus the locking levers for the slides so I am reluctant to add sheet metal covers. In the past I have used a selection of solutions, the best being neoprene sheet (garden centre, used for sealing big ponds) attached with spring clips. However that was always temporary, looked unfinished and was never 100% effective especially when lots of coolant was flying around.

I am sure that I have come across retangular or circular section bellows for this and similar purposes – but I can no longer find where!

Regards,
