    Electric panel questions.

    Sorry to hear about your catalytic converter. Someone tried to remove mine in the parking lot of a Home Depot. They cut the rear pipe half way through before abandoning the exercise for reasons unknown. I was lucky just had to weld the cut closed.

    Ditron DRO Finally Installed on Mill

    I have the same scales and the same concerns. The concern I have with mounting them with the face down is it exposes them to accidental bending when putting heavier items on the table. That is why I went with the aluminum angle and supported it on the ends and in the middle so it will take the...

    Ditron DRO Finally Installed on Mill

    After reading your Hartford Clone post I went back and had another look at mine. Initially I was going rotate the X axis scale 90 degrees but realized that would make it difficult to check it and it required another bracket in the middle due to the length of the scale. I decided to install a...

    Ditron DRO Finally Installed on Mill

    I finally got around to installing the DRO on my mill. The read out is mounted to the ceiling as the start panel was in the way and I didn't want to relocate it. It is a Ditron unit and the scales are magnetic. The installation was a bit of a challenge on the Y and Z axis. The left side of the...
