Wireless Mill Digital Readout (DRO)

Here are some updated photos showing using that blu-DRO control unit my friend Al sent to me to machine a Aluminum Casting on my Milling Machine ... it works with the free TouchDRO App that works 'wireless' on any Android OS tablet.

I 3D-Printed the Vise Split-Patterns to create a sand mold hollow shape to pour in the molten Aluminum ... The castings were made by my friend SuperDave.

The two Machinist Vises I usually use were at a different workshop, so I had to rig up this bizarre little ‘Cat-in-the-Hat’ milling hold down setup using my drill-press vise.

Setup worked to get the test cut measurement needed, but I was about to the point of getting out the duct tape ��

… The important thing is the blu-DRO worked flawlessly!! Thanks AL!!

Great Aluminum Castings SuperDave!! Thank You!!
