Not another lathe ways cover

Follow
Like Factory Made

In this video, I'll take you on a journey of practicality and handson work as I tackle the challenge of creating a custom way cover for my little Weiler machine. While there are many way cover ideas out there, none of them was quite right for me, so I decided to roll up my sleeves and craft my own solution.

You see, I've invested a significant amount of effort into restoring this machine, and it's only natural to want to protect it. Having a machine shop at my disposal means that the ideas I envision can become a reality. So, it was high time to transform my concept into a tangible, functional, and protective ways cover.

Join me as I share the process of bringing this idea to life and ensuring that my hard work in machine restoration remains safeguarded for years to come. Let's dive into the world of custom machining and practical problemsolving together!
