desertcart.com: Houseuse Black 800mm x 160mm x75mm Flexible Accordion Dust Cover for Machine : Musical Instruments Review: The seller indicates the size from outside diameter. - The seller indicates the size from outside of the cover 160mm. The purpose for this cover was for Emco Maximat v10p the rail wide 150mm. Confusing description, I needed diameter 160mm inside the cover. Review: Cut in half works perfectly on my MX-210V (8x21) minilathe - This is the perfect width to cover the ways AND with enough overhang at the front to also protect the lead screw from debris on an MX-210 (or WM-210) lathe. Bonus: I cut it in half lengthwise so I have the other half spare for replacement when/if the first half wears out. I attached the cut-off end to the headstock by CA gluing it to a piece of 1/8-inch aluminum that I cut to shape around the ways, then tapped and screwed the aluminum to the headstock. It's attached to the carriage by a single M8 bolt through one end of a 1/4-inch think aluminum bar that clamps the end in place securely, while making it simple to remove to inspect/clean/oil the ways periodically. I cut about an inch off the cover's drop-down on the rear so that it rides just on top of my DRO scale mounted back there. Very happy with this improvement to help me keep my lathe ways and lead screw free of debris. Recommended.
