Dro Mounting Panel for the Readouts Mini Mill

[Paul Jones]

Hi JR,
Thanks for your tip on eBay for the inexpensive DROs. I wonder if you could retrofit inexpensive 120V to low voltage DC power supplies for the power sources. I discovered some on eBay for $5 and have used them to power my mini and 12" geared head lathes' tachometers. Here is a photo of these tiny power supplies (in lower left-hand side of photo) and these work well for low power demand devices.



For safe use this would have to be placed in the some enclosure for the power electronics to the mini milling machine so the 120VAC is covered and then feed three pairs of small gage wires to the DROs. In my example, it is in the power supply and relay box to the lathe.
