Yet ANOTHER tailstock DRO.:biggrin:
I took this off my crosslide. I thought I would use it more but it kind of got in the way and using just the dials works really well, soooo.... YET ANOTHER TDRO!
Everybody else mounted theirs on the front but I wanted it a little more out of the way so I put it on the back.
I made an L bracket out of .050" alum. to mount the slide and I mounted the readout to a flat piece of sheet metal.
:biggrin:Before anybody asks....the locking handle only moves about 1/4 turn so it doesn't hit the readout when tightened.
I never realized how handy this would be, I use it ALOT now that I have it!:wink:
