Yet another DRO mounted on a mini-lathe

(1/3) > >>

David Kirtley:
I have been trying to figure out how to mount my DRO on my lathe. This is what I came up with.

I used the mount for the splash guard to mount one side:



The other side, I did drill and tap a hole for mounting:



The one thing I did that was different was I did not permanently attach the bracket to the lathe saddle. Instead, I used a rare earth magnet from a hard disk:



Here is the same thing with a different view:



And here is the operator's view of the readout:

Hi David!

Looks good, but it is kind of hard to see. Anyway you could make the pictures larger?

Brass_Machine:
Also, Welcome to the collective :borg: !!

Definitely interested in seeing larger pictures as I want to attempt this myself sometime soon.

David Kirtley:
I thought I did post bigger ones :)


I am going to have to figure out how to get to link the originals. I will try again :)

Brass_Machine:
We have a couple of stickied posts in the GALLERY that may help?
