Mill bellow

thingiverse

Create Y-axis ways protection for your CNC mill using office paper by following these steps. First, download and print the bellow template on DIN A4 paper; adjust size if needed while maintaining aspect ratio. Score horizontal and diagonal lines with a knife or glass cutter, ensuring not to cut through the paper. Fold the bellow as demonstrated in a YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6VLRqwGDeI). Coat the exterior of the folded bellow with liquid rubber; unfolding is acceptable for the first application but refold before it sets to maintain shape. Allow drying before attaching U-shaped end pieces made from .5mm sheet aluminum, cuttable with scissors, or alternative materials like cardboard or plywood, using glue on each end of the bellow for secure attachment. A liquid rubber coating adds stability and protects against oil and cooling liquids.
