Default Quill DRO attachment

I don't have a supplied mounting bar. Just the digimatic. The hard part
for me is how to attach to the round part with the hole in it that goes
up and down. The photo Pete sent me shows a pin that goes into the hole.
I guess I could make a pin that is a very tight fit into that hole and it
would work. The other option is a two part clamp that would grip that
round part.

In any event, thank you to Pete and Ted for the responses.

I'm trying to attach a 6" scale DRO (a Mitutoyo Digimatic) to my BP clone
Kondia.

I've got the 6" Mitutoyo quill DRO on my Kondia variable speed BP clone.
IIRC, the only
thing I had to do that was not in the instructions was to mill a shallow
slot in the back of the
supplied aluminum mounting bar. The slot is for clearance for the sliding
block on the quill feed
mechanism. Only need to be .050" deep or so, or you could shim the mount
block. It binds
if you don't do one or the other.
