DRO Quill Kit for Bridgeports
Anyone have one of these caliper type scales on their mills? I just
ordered one for my mill with the mounting kit and was curious how it mounts to the mill and also how it will affect the automatic depth stop that kicks out the quill powerfeed? I have looked for manuals or instructions and could not locate any on the web. I also checked Mitutoyo's website and had no luck. This is a 6" scale type. Thanks for any help or mounting pictures. -Steve |

Mounting is almost self-explanatory. There is no effect on quill feed or
automatic depth stop. Bob Swinney "Stephen Young" wrote in message ... wrote: Anyone have one of these caliper type scales on their mills?

I made one for my mill out of a cheapie Harbor Freight digital
caliper. You have to turn your head sideways to read it but for 25 bucks....... JohnF On 13 Jun 2005 09:16:49 -0700, " wrote: Anyone have one of these caliper type scales on their mills?
