;D ;D
My birthday present to myself..!
DRO's for the lathe and mill. yeehaw.
Sino's via the ebay.
wish I had the proper taps to get started today though!! ( plug + bottom tap). I thinking of using 12-24 rather than the 5mm bolts. funny how I just spent some $80 on taps and dies..and yea, dont have what I need.....lol just #12 and 5mm taper taps. useless for short holes.
Have decide to mount the mill's x axis scale, on the back of the table. I dont want to give up being able to use the table stops in the front.
I can also use the "shroud" mouting holes to mount the reader head's mounting plate, and may be able to mod the shroud and still use it.
will make some drill/tap guide blocks today. nice to have those.
