Poor mans lathe DRO's

I likeee, sure would be nice some closer pic of the mounts as I am lazy!

Thanks for posting.

Alrighty. Here's a few. I made U shaped bracket that clamps onto the cross slide at the back. One cap screw on the left side holds it in place. At the front side of the cross slide I added an attaching block. There was 2 existing holes there so I took advantage of those. The last one is actually one of two stop blocks I made for the ways. I used one of them to attach the end of the caliper and made a knurled knob to so no tools are needed to remove it.

Of course every machine will be different. Mine is a 7 X 16 Microlux.

Hope this helps.
