I think I get it enough to make something that will work one of two ways.

1. turn a round pin that fits snugly into the hole. cut a slit into the
portion that goes into the hole along the long axis. Have a setscrew at
an angle to the slit that will force the slit open and make a tighter
fit.

2. Turn that same pin and also make something that will fit around the
part that goes up and down with the quill. Draw the two together with a
screw so the pin can't move.

In either case, the moving part of the dro attaches to that pin.

If I still seem like i don't get it, a picture would be great.

Whatever I wind up doing, I'll photograph it and put it in the dropox for
the next guy.

I really appreciate the help and I'd like to do what I can to pass on the
favor to the next guy.

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.


The pin IS half of the two part clamp that grips the round part!
I tried to show/and explain that in the second set of pictures.
I'm Not too good with explanations.

It does not have to grip tightly into the hole, it is pulled sideways
by the SHCS to grip the round thing with the mount for the scale
slider.

In other words, the piece that clamps against the round thing
is what attatches to the scale slider.
The round pin that goes into the round thing is pulled
sideways, to clamp the piece against the round thing...

I can send more pictures, or disassemble it if needed.
Once you see how it works, it is _SO_ simple to make...
Easier than any other ideas.

Let me know if you need more pictures.
