| DRO for 6x26 |
| (1/2) > >> |
| russ57:
so, i've just order a DRO with 3 scales from the DRO store, for my 6x26 'top tech DM15 mill. I need to tell them what size scales i want. How/where do i measure? General feeling i get is that in front of the bed is best for the X scale, to not lose Y travel. Any contrary opinions? any other suggestions? thanks russ (oz) |

Hello,Russ. I guess I own a similar mill and went with Allendale for my glass scales. I chose GS500-120 Slim Glass Scale - 120mm Reading Length GS500-170 Slim Glass Scale - 170mm Reading Length GS500-370 Slim Glass Scale - 370mm Reading Length Ordered matching protective covers as well. More or less it has been an easy installation,even for a plonker like me. Z X Y I hope the pics help. Cheers,Ralph |

Sure does Ralph. Looks like you put the z_ on the quill? I almost always use the knee, I thought I might put a caliper on the quill eventually. I've also asked the suppplier if has a recommendation. -Russ |

OK, I've ordered 370 for x and z(w), and 170 for y next step, taking a drill to my pristine mill.... |
