A few pics of my shop...

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.

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 :(

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.

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.
