Title: Advice Needed: 3 Axis DRO Kit For SX£ Milling Machine
Post by: DarrenUK on September 16, 2015, 11:20:34 AM

I am thinking of buying one of these 3 axis DRO kits for my SX3 milling machine...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-axis-digital-readout-for-mill-milling-machine-complete-DRO-kit-/320919811363?hash=item4ab84fb523

Obviously there will be no machine specific instructions with this kit so i am looking for advice on the best way to mount it all.

Has anyone here got this or a similar kit fitted to an SX3 machine? If so i would appreciate some photos of how it has been mounted, brackets etc? What 3 sizes of scales are recommended for the SX3 machine?

Any other advice regarding fitting this kit to the SX3 machine would be great.

Thanks
Darren
