DRO for Warco Major mill
PekkaNF:
I am now considering seriously fitting the scale front/low in lieu to X-axis stops. Where is this world getting at?

BillTodd:
Mount the scale to the front. then...
make a couple of stops that attach to the Table dovetail and to the small area below the scale . If you are using stops , then you are unlikely to be using the full range of the table , so the loss fo a few centimetres of 'stop' range wil not cause you a big problem ( nothing that could not be fixed 'on the day')
Make an electrical stop that bleeps with incresing rapidity as you approach the stop point.

The term "snagging" in the UK usually refers to correcting the defects in a project. As a project progresses defects arise which need to be 'corrected'. These are put on a "Snagging List". Before the project can be said to be completed all the '"snaggs" on the list need to be corrected to the project managers satisfaction. Amongst other things.
That's the theory anyway! The practice may be different!

That is actually a very good idea!
I will not need them often (even less so with DRO) and mechanical stops right at guide ways must surely be most accurate. Pretty high on the list when making about hundred teeth and depth is is set by a end stop (done that). Now I need to check the details i.e. which surface to use as a stop, does it needs a taped stud or small flat or what. Would be easy to do now when it's in parts.

Jep, it would be pretty easy to mount the rail into table stopper rail.
Looks like should remove the tape rule from the table or least flatten the rivets.
Standard read head mountung hardware does not fit, but proper one is not too hard to make.
