Whatever that ad-writing genius is smoking or ingesting, I want some as its obviously great stuff.

I bought, several years back some 1/2" folded bellows stock but its not the bees knees where the motion is horizontal. The bottom of the fold packs up with cuttings dust, and when it should collapse, it bulges up in the center because it can't fold tight enough. Paint brush and vacuum it clean and its good for another 3 or 4 minutes on the gap in the g0704's base to y carriage in front of the carriage. IOW, not a real good seal to keep crap out of the ball screw & nut left exposed. > On 8/15/2016 4:25 PM, andy pugh wrote: > > On 15 August 2016 at 22:17, John Thornton <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Anyone have any ideas on what to replace that with? > > > > Possibly one of these? > > http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/Catalogue/Machine-Spares/Machine-Bello > >ws > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >-------- _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
