Machine Covers

[R-D-R]

I'd like to source a cover for my ESAB Rebel, can't seem to locate anything suitable off the shelf from a UK supplier. I note many US firms sell specific covers such as:

Noticed my machine with a layer of wood dust as a result of a mammoth sanding job over the weekend and thought probably should protect it from such crud as its a keeper.

Anyone got any UK based pointers? I've found companies that will make custom machine covers but expect a one off from the likes would be expensive.

Similar here. Old cotton bedsheets get used for covering pretty much everything. Sometimes cotton curtains too, though I prefer the thicker bedsheets. Beggars can't be choosers though.

Depending on the length of your welder a bicycle or motorbike cover will work. I had a bicyle cover I bought in poundland covering my lathe (Myford ML7) and it was perfectly adequate. It has been replaced by a motorbike cover from Lidl which was slightly larger & better quality material.
