minimill dro revisited.

<< < (3/3)

wheeltapper:
Right, calipers chopped and a bracket fitted under the vise plate.
Sorted.


and I cut the movable feeler off at an angle so when its not on the mill I can use it as a digital scriber.


perhaps I should be getting back to the engine now.

Roy.

Stilldrillin:
Thanks Roy!  That was much easier than I expected.... :thumbup:

Here's how I tackled it.

Took off the sticky label, and cleaned off the sticky stuff. It gets everywhere!  :palm:

Opened up carefully. Noting the fine thread screw, top left........




The depth probe is held on by a whisker, only........




Removed anything which didn't look like a DRO, and re assembled.......





Two existing M4 tapped holes, took a 40mm wide piece of filing cabinet.

Add a couple of magnets, and it looks/ works ok.........




Another Round Tuit, finally sorted, and put to bed........

Nicely modded :clap: :clap: :thumbup:
I have a one on the quill of my mill
The x y axis has a Newall dro which has given me no end of problems
Trouble is once you have used one they become very adictive :bugeye:
