Surface grinding creates a lot of grit and dust, so before I do much with the machine, I need to make sure I can control it. I'm starting with the way covers, which were pretty much toast.

Here's a new one next to the old, cracked and torn original.

It was easy to make some new ones, using a punch set I picked up. And here they are installed on the grinder. Much better now.
