That's definitely is NOT the case with my Mitutoyo copycat calipers.
We'll work @Susquatch over tomorrow for a dro for his lathe.....
Yes, my lathe has no DRO.
Yes, my lathe needs a DRO.
I've been retired for 15 years and am almost done going broke spending all my RRSPs on farming. Fertilizer and chemicals went crazy this year. Nothing but worse on the horizon.
I'm too old to work for anybody else. I have a bad attitude, need a dental, eye, bone, diaper, and memory benefit program and don't get much done cuz I fall asleep too much.
So..... I think I'm gunna have to sell a gun to get the DRO for the lathe. I know that's really getting desperate but......
On the flip side, I've used a lathe for 40 years without one. I just didn't know what I was missing till I put a DRO on the mill.
I got the three main axis working on the mill and love it. But I stalled on the quill. I've spent the summer noodling it, and I think I finally have it figured out. But that's another thread coming soon.
Yes, the lathe is next. Prolly only a month (give or take a year or two) away.
I think that anybody who can chase cows around all day and put up with all the bull s*@t has all the experience needed to chase suppliers around till they give up.
Nor my old genuine mitutoyo. Another sign that the copy cats copied the old ones not the new ones. I solved that problem with a box of batteries.
