Pros & Cons
Pros
This seems to have turned out well and i no longer have to worry about dirt and chips accumulating at the front of the y axis ways. Durable and seem to hold up. It is long enough to work with 10-to-14-inch lathes and doesn't bunch up under the chuck.

This seems to have turned out well and i no longer have to worry about dirt and chips accumulating at the front of the y axis ways.
Fits on my 20" y axis and covers ways.
Both tore where rubber meets steel mount on milling table.
Feels very durable and i am sorry i didn't pick one up sooner.
Packaging/appearance
The mill came with the center front hole drilled and tapped for 1/4x28 threads.
Competitiveness
These are better than oem for my jet mill.

I added a 112”x18” x 12” piece of aluminum by drilling and tapping the front saddle way wiper for 8x24 socket head screws and doing the same at the top of the aluminum

I then had to drill three holes at the end of the accordion cover which i used to attached the cover to the top of the aluminum extension on the saddle

This raises the rear of the cover about 1” above the y axis ways so the cover will fold by itself when the saddle reaches the end of the y axis travel at the front of the mill
