DRO install on my RF30

[djberta]

Finally got a chance to install the dro on my RF30. Eventually I will look at putting touchdro on it some time in the future. I did not cut the scales and opted to cut the belt guard for the z and just use the long one on the y axis. It's a vevor set that came much longer then I thought but it fits mostly. For the z I flipped the casting that holds the depth stop and cut a piece of 1/4 aluminum plate. Some angle pieces from the junk pile and it came together over a few nights. I first started out way over thinking it all.

Simple easy dro screen mount and light base from a monitor post. 3d printed a simple bushing for the light to fit on the post.

Looks good. I'd be very interested on your review of this unit after some months of use.
