Condensation and the rust it brings on are all too often the results of ordinary machine covers. This HTC cover is of a strong, durable cotton sheeting that is skip-coated with a special plastisol. The resulting cover is water resistant, but breathes so condensation doesnt collect. The covers have the hems rolled around the entire perimeter, with a rubberized magnet sewn into each corner. These durable silver-colored protectors are useful around the house, but are sized for woodworkers.
The HTC Tool Saver Jumbo Machine Cover protects your investment from performance-threatening condensation and rust, as well as harmful moisture, dust, and other workshop elements. This unique covers are made of rugged cotton sheeting that's scientifically coated with a special plastisol, with thousands of microscopic holes that allow it to breathe yet remain water resistant. The fabric is roll-hemmed around the entire perimeter, with a rubberized magnet sewn to each corner. Measuring 72 by 112 inches, the cover is ideal for cabinet saws with extension tables.

 "Newer versions are cheaply made" 2009-07-17
By B. Gnoz (Martinez, GA United States)
I had two of these covers and decided to buy a third. Same exact model, but the new one is made of a noticeably thinner material. The magnet design has changed as well, but is still pretty much worthless. The new (thinner) ones have a green trimming, while the older (thicker) ones are trimmed in black. The thinner one still does the job, but I wonder how long it will last? I'd give these four stars normally (minus one for useless magnets), but the change to thinner material (while keeping the price pretty high) brings them down to three stars. I don't think I'll be buying another, at least not without seeing it first.

Incidentally, one nice way to side-step the weak magnets is to buy a set of small neodymium magnets (I used 1/4x1/4x1/2 from eBay) and inset them into some scraps of wood (I used 1"x 1.5"x 1/4" walnut). Use epoxy to hold the magnets in place. You can then use these to trim up the covers, make them fit the machine better, and keep them from dragging on the floor. The surrounding wood makes them a lot easier to remove and the magnetic force is distributed to a larger area, which should keep the magnets from damaging the cover.

The sewn-in magnets just don't hold at all... this is a huge improvement that's inexpensive and not difficult to do.

I bought several of medium, large and jumbo sizes. The slightest breeze sends all the covers flying. I bought some relatively cheap .5" neodymium magnets to replace the worthless things that are stitched into the covers. I bought some hem tape from a craft store to repair the removal slits. I do not sew.


 "HTC covers. Expensive and worth it!" 2008-04-28
By S. Paxson (Chicago, IL)
I have been purchasing and using faithfully, the HTC covers for a few years now and swear by them. I have listed a few things to think about. Be careful before you order these covers. Make sure the size (dimensions) is correct for your needs. You may think that a "medium" cover may work for you when if fact a large or jumbo would have fit better. You will want to have the cover drape over the object being protected, not just covering the tops.
My woodshop is located in the garage. If the heat is off or down low, the average temperature is 40 degrees. The shop is well insulated and will hold that temperature even as the outside air is much warmer. That's where the problem starts. If I open the overhead door on a nice warm, MOIST day, the cold machine tops act like water magnets. In a day or two a slight film of rust will form. It's like taking a shower and having the cold bathroom mirror steam up, only on metal surfaces the moisture is absorbed into the pores where the oxidation or rust starts its nasty process. The HTC covers really do prevent this all from happening
I use these covers for all my woodshop equipment for three reasons. #1 reason, to keep the cast iron tables from rusting. #2 reason, to keep dust, which collects and holds moisture (like mulch in your garden) off my idle equipment. And the #3 reason, to keep the peering eyes of pedestrians and vehicular traffic (my garage is near the street and sidewalk) from seeing all the expensive toys when the overhead door is open.
The first two reasons are worth the cost of the 8 covers I own. The third reason is just for my peace of mind!

This is a great product to protect costly equipment from the detritus created in the shop. I particularly like the weight of the cover, which prevents slippage.


 "Good material/ fair fit" 2005-08-15
By Chips & (South Carolina)
I have a couple of these HTC machine covers. The material seems of very high quality and I'd expect it to perform well overtime. After a couple of weeks in my garage shop, in the South Carolin summer, my covered tools seem to be doing just fine - no collected moisture and no rust. The construction is solid. This size cover works fair on my Jet bandsaw, the length is ok but the width results in open sides. I'd just as soon have grommet holes for bungee cords than the magnets. They aren't particularly effective at holding the cover neatly in place. Overall, though I'm satisfied with my purchase.
