I prefer to purchase small power tools with cases and whenever I purchase a large tool I also buy a cover. Like most hobbyists, my shop is not humidity controlled, nor heated/cooled, so my tools need protection.
I typically buy HTC covers, but for my drill press I got an outdoor single golf bag cover and my Minimax 16 required the outdoor double golf bag cover. The rectangular ones just did not fit correctly.
QUESTION: Most vendors know that the best time to sell accessories is when the customer is making an initial purchase. Why then don't they offer custom covers for the machines they sell? I know Grizzly reads some of the postings and it seems Taiwan can easily make covers for your machines. Should be an easy way to increase sales/profits while providing satisfaction to your customers.
