Is it hard to mount? :loco: --- End quote --- DRO is a Digital Read Out. it helps you know exactly where you are in space X-Y-Z. The calipers are 6 inch cheap Chinese ones. I have since discovers some from Grizzly that are not much more and are more robust and have a remote display... maybe I will upgrade one day, but these work fine for now. If I had this setup when I started the heads, they would all be the exact same. http://www.grizzly.com/products/0-6-Digital-Fractional-Horizontal-Vertical-Remote-Scale/T21577 http://www.grizzly.com/products/12-Digital-Scale-with-Remote-Readout-Inch-Metric-Fraction/T23012 The calipers came from Harbor Freight (there is a store 5 miles from my house...). I have some really good coupons that get them down to $9.99... http://www.harborfreight.com/6-inch-digital-caliper-47257.html I also now have a tilt vise. WOW! I wish I had that when I started the heads!!! oh well... now I do... It was way out when I got it, but it is within a thou now. Having the tools.... priceless... |

I made brackets and epoxied them to the scales... I tried to drill them... but they are hardened stainless and I did not have any cobalt drills, just HSS. Doug |
