    Lathe dro install

    @PeterT The dropros video shows the compound as “x prime” and has a streamlined menu/screen that allows you to set the compound angle. it “mixes” the x-prime value into the x/y readout. If that makes sense

    Lathe dro install

    @Susquatch I’ll have to see if I can post another link to the manual.. might be easier for me to email to someone that has more experience than I do. Hahaha Definitely plan on including the compound eventually. I don’t have a milling machine so the compound comes off occasionally for some...

    Do you RC?

    @TorontoBuilder flying fpv has been a lot of fun. And just to clarify these are NOT the picture taking, spy on your neighbors kind of drones. I’ll never legally fly a manned aircraft and this is probably as close as it gets while staying on the ground. Flying circuits with fixed wing and helis...

    After talking to a couple members here, I noticed RC come up in conversation more than once. What kind of RC stuff does everyone play with? I started with rockets and control line planes in school. That eventually led to nitro helis and as battery technology progressed, electric helis. My long...

    Thanks @neer724 Not sure if I will be able to help... So far I’ve only had the display on a couple of times and it was just to see that it was reading the scales. I copied and pasted the link fasttobuy sent me to the digital manual. There’s no mention of machine type and rad/dia mode is...

    Lathe dro install

    Here’s a screenshot from Amazon but the vendor is fasttobuy. Think I would have saved a couple dollars if I ordered directly. To my door in the Edmonton area total cost was $546 plus another $25 for the drag chain and used the aluminum I already had. This is my first experience with dro’s and...

    Lathe dro install

    Spent the last couple nights installing a dro on my lathe. The x axis went on the chuck side because it was straight forward fit up. The tailstock side would have interfered with carriage and cross slide locks. Z axis went on easy and the drag chain keeps everything neat. Just have to mount the...
