I had a rubber accordion type protector on my mill. Finally got torn and worn out. I removed it and was going to order a new one from Grizzly . I wanted to finish what I had been milling so I came up with temporary, now permanent solution.I save glossy cardboard for templates and such. Took one piece and bent folds like the pleated rubber I tossed out. Installed it about 5 months ago and it still is holding up well. Worked well enough to make accordion protectors for my lathes. Makes clean up less of a hassle.
I do not expect the cardboard to last as long as a rubber type , but for 10 minutes work every so often it makes sense to me.
