Liquids have been spilled on my table saw with the cover on more than once. So don't count on the cover keeping liquids off your tools. I of course did not know it. On each occurrence, the liquid went right through the cover and I ended up with a big rust stain on the table saw.
I bought some hem tape from a craft store to repair the removal slits. I bought several of medium and large sizes. The slightest breeze sends all the covers flying. I do not sew. I bought some relatively cheap.5" neodymium magnets to replace the worthless things that are stitched into the covers.
this cover is as advertised. I plan on buying more of these it lets the machine breathe, but keeps the dust off.
The magnets are handy and help hold down the cover just by their weight alone. Strange but true. I don't know if anyone else will find this to be true. I have yet to find condensation or rust under one of the covers. Just received my third order.
but I have found that I make a more concerted effort to clean my machines before I put the covers over them. I am covering everything including my lawn tractor and snow blower in their off-season. They are pricey I suppose but I will always have them on my machines esp. in our wetter climate.
The dust that settles on and in the motors of your machines can contain things other than wood fibers which are bad enough (think sap). When I removed the cover not one drop had penetrated to the cast iron surface. As I wrote earlier about a larger cover for my table saw, even one of my barn cats couldn't penetrate with a liquid critique of one of my recent projects. Buy them and use them if you want your tools to last longer. Silicates or other abrasives can also be in the air to wear down intricate parts. I am a believer. These covers are not cheap but they work extremely well.
