Just what Bogs says, I have the air lift cylinder on my bandsaw mounted that was and it's onto a rough casting at about a 15 degree angle but the mounting is vertical. John S. |

Ok, so you guys have much more smarts than me :smart: :) I'll have to investigate and see what I find. It does appear to be working perfectly now that it has no bits of swarf stuck in the plug! If I check it and all is good I'll probably leave it alone. No point in fixing what ain't broke! If it needs tweeks I will insert jacking points and go from there :thumbup: You might have thought that the manufacturer would have put such things in place? Or at least suggested it in the instructions?! :poke: Anywho, been playing quite happily over the last few days (henceposts at 4am!... Lost track of time!) Steady yourselves.... Nearing completion of my rocking engine!! Only started it about a year or so ago :bugeye: no pic's yet though.... Still computerless :( Ralph. |

--- Quote ---If I check it and all is good I'll probably leave it alone. No point in fixing what ain't broke! --- End quote --- You are quite correct Ralph. I only showed that because it is standard practice when mounting things onto uneven or angled surfaces. Now everyone knows the secret. John |

There are manufacturers of these cheaper DRO's supplying backing plates with jacking screws. I think my Meister manual has it in it but never come supplied with back plates. When I installed mine, I used jacking screws on both the reader head and scale as the brackets where welded up and you cant always get them perfectly true. I perfect spot for them would have been on your Y axis instead of using packers. Dave |
