Thanks for the photos makes a nice setup. How do you find the strut, no more head drop?

Will repost this thread for info for Bmac2.Both the vernier and the gas strut
were surprisingly easy to fit and well worth the effort.No more head drop
and accurate downfeed

Next project,i have a choice of 2

Fit a power feed from Aussie as per Oldboy approx. $350 or

Fit 2 axis Dro to x and y from china approx. $450

Any thoughts anyone???

Dro next , the power feed from Ausee ( older model ) isn't the best thing on earth but does work sort of .
There appears to be a newer model ( black in colour ) I don't know if it is better or not.
I ended up fitting the y axis scale on the left side as it leaves the gib screws clear for adjustment but found the power feed interfered with the scale so i had to space it out to clear it .
I need to change the gas strut as the one i have is too strong and if i let go of the feed handle the head shoots back up to the top pretty quick.
Mine is an X2 .
