Fit a 10 quid DRO to your cross slide one evening and be amazed

The biggest problem is drilling the stainless jaws, they are TOUGH, you will need to drill them with carbide

Put a decent cutting edge on a cheap masonry bit using a diamond sharpening "stone" and it will drill the hardened stainless of the caliper, thats how I fitted the DRO on my ML7 tailstock.

Well guys, I got a great opportunity to grab a Super 7 with a gearbox and a suds system.

I am just back from picking it up.

I'm guessing that everything that has been said about the ML conversion broadly applies to the S7.

Anyway, thanks for all your help I'm off to start a new thread.

Anyone want to buy a ML7 ??
