Anybody know of a replacement for the metal bellows that covers the X-Axis ballscrew? Mine is really noisy and sometimes hangs-up during extreme travels; which will not allow full-use of the 18" table-travel. I was wondering if there is a plastic or composite offering out there some where??

On side note, I do not want to run it without a bellows because my shop is rather dirty and I am always grinding or blowing things off with an air-gun.

Thanks,
Wayne

I must have spent 30 minutes the other day searching McMaster, and could not find them. I guess I never hit the right keywords. Thanks!!

Thanks mactec!! I took mine off the machine, and found a gouge on one of the coils. I did some grinding to remove the sharp edges and raised metal. It seems to be working OK now (no hanging). If it gives me a problem again, I will call Centry. Thanks again!!
