Wizard Dust Cover?

[Kirstie]

Has anyone bought or made a good dust cover for the Wizard? We would like to protect the entire table and the computer at night. We cover all our mat cutters and our 3 tier fabric mat sample display every night. One of our framers made our covers from some heavy duty cotton, but the Wizard is a BIG machine!

Thanks.

Yea! probably a good idea to do that, which I haven't done yet. Surprised Wizard doesn't offer one with their logo on it.

If the weather every warms up you might be able to find one of the plastic covers that are made for patio furniture. I imagine that one of the ones for the rectangular tables might fit and they are pretty reasonable.

Wow, I wish I was that good!
I just dust my stuff every now and then. I do use that bottled air to clean off key boards and such. But man it takes me 10 minutes just to turn everything off everynight, I can't imaging having to cover it all too.

You are so good!

I thought all you folks with a Wizard were running them 24/7! Wouldn't a dust cover just slow up production???

I use a queen size bed sheet, seems to work fine for me (fits nicely) and a quick dust off every morning and make sure there are no slivers stuck anywhere and away you go.

We cover mat cutters, fabric sample mats, and computers and printers every night. When we don't we find that gunk accumulates--dust and Vac-u-mount spray. Our staff are just trained to put the covers on and tidy up for the night janitor before they leave the shop. As I write this I am in the office at the shop babysitting the yearly clean by a cleaning company. the guys are on ladders vacuuming the dust bunnies from the rafters. Choke, gasp.

Wizard Cover

Luddite that I am I still use a table-top Fletcher 2100 which is permanently set up on its own table as these machines need to be. Cleanliness is next to godliness with matcutters and I always cover the machine and table and my matt card bins with Crescent oversize matt board bags.

For something big like the Wizard I would suggest a plastic painting drop sheet. They are big enough, cost peanuts and can be replaced when they get a bit ragged. Otherwise, a strong cotton double bed sheet would be just as good. (Maybe one with a "Harry Potter" motif?" )
