I saw some good ideas posted earlier about covering machines. This is one solution I came up with, lawn leaf bags large size. Water proof, and durable. We do not have a "fall" season here, but I saw these online for 20 bucks each, and free shipping. I live near the ocean, and the salt air just coats everything if not covered. It's not a custom fit but waterproof, and durable. I'm ok with it, they are covering my mill, and 80 gal compressor. I'll have to figure out the lathe when it gets here.

 
I use old bedsheets my wife gives me, as they help keep the dust/particulates off the machines. We don't have much issue with 'salt air' here in SE Arizona. :D
 
Aukai, are those bags "breathable" ? e.g. will they cause moisture to sweat from the inside?
 
Just a wild comment, perhaps splitting one side will let you cover your lathe, And like WRMILLER we don't get much salt air at in the four corners.
 
I have some old Cloth shower curtins that I use to cover stuff. THat and old denim also works for me.
 
Remind me please of why you would want to cover a machine?
