Hi George,

How are these gauges attached to the machine and where can they be bought?

Many thanks,

Ian

Can't edit my previous post but I have re-read that you use magnets glued to the scale, so if you can offer advice on where to buy these type of scales.

Thanks,

Ian

Whilst I was in the man cave today I did a check on the tyre gauge digi read out travel on the saddle travel position, can get 50mm safely before scale comes out of read head… sufficient travel for finishing off with just a 'tad more', & when you're done just unclip it & store it back on the tail stock, or wherever…

Thats really quite ingenious. I dont fancy a full DRO setup on the lathe at this time, but those might just be a nice compromise.

Bought off eBay… cut the lugs off, super glue / epoxy 4-6 neodymium magnets onto back… voila! … usual disclaimer applies.

If you don't fancy modding a digital caliper, (They really are HARD steel) you can buy DROs with horizontal scales for tailstocks, saddles etc, or vertical for Z axis on vertical mills)

My Tailstock DRO now won't switch off, (Battery removed for the present, dared not say "currently" ) so the next job on the Round Tuit is to remove, strip and clean the circuit board, and hope that it will be cured.
