Hello People, I'm looking for idea's on the best way to cover the rails that my bearing ride on, Its a home made table with flat bar for the rails that the stepper motors ride on, I saw somethings on amazon but just looking for different. I just ran a 2500 piece job and the table is a little dirty.

Re: Slide covers
Kenny,
My Avid cnc tables use a strip of black teflon type material to cover the linear rails. These strips are about 1/8" thick x 2" wide and run the length of the tables on both sides. Perhaps you could do something similar. Avid uses these for both the cnc router tables and cnc plasma tables.

Re: Slide covers
I did see one guy that attached an apron to each slider that extended a distance to each side. This may help if you are using a water table.
