Just on second coat of the garage floor but some quick pictures this morning of position ot the DRO arm, inside the rear column 2 cross beams and a bracket (all inside the black control panel) i moved back the screws on top 30mm to allow for this and i also removed 10mm each side at the top to allow the head to rise 50mm higher !!! |

The machine controller i mean is the big black box on the back of the machine, i moved it by 30mm to allow the scale to be fitted inside, i also modified it to allow the head to travel 50mm higher, i fitted the DRO arm to the top of the controller box on the right hand side, it is ok and at the right height to read it. i have painted the floor today but will get some pictures tomorrow
Regards
Martin

I've just fitted one last week as im now onto the cross slide. You need to move the black controller back section out 30mm to allow for the scale to fit inside, also if you clip off 10mm each side of the black controller then the head can lift 60mm higher (bonus )
I will sort some pictures later today
