Dude, that’s awesome. That’s why I’m making these videos to try to help people like you. I hope it goes well and I think it will for you! In a few years, you’ll have several machines. I’ve seen it time and time again.

you are correct on bent covers. i tried straightening and could get them working again for a while but at some point a rapid move and they crunch up.

i have had to replace many of the x axis way covers on 3 vf4 ss machines. we machine fiberglass parts no coolant allowed therefore no lubrication . so every 6 months a cover would destroy itself. i finally bought bellows way covers which so far have worked. the covers move over 1 million times/ year 500 cycles / day on the parts .

I have had to do this too for one customer.

Anytime you spend the time to take something like that apart, replacing the wear items is really a good idea. It's cheap insurance.

Thanks, man! Love your content! Uh-oh....are you using "BOOM" like Titan? 🤣

[@cncrepairman]

Dude,where's your safety glasses?

[@drewgraff7748]

What kind of silicone are you using inside machines that coolant doesn’t turn to goo?

[@cncrepairman]

Sikaflex you can get it at a hardware store. We sell it on our website too:

First you need to eat some pizzas and lift some weights to grow some arms to disassemble those way covers.
