Adjusting DRO scale

[Sean CullenParticipant @seancullen60833]

Having been given a set of DROs for my milling machine I find 2 are slightly too long. I didn't fancy having them overhanging, is it ok to cut them down to the correct length? They are the ones with remote readout from Arc.

If you mean these, (Link) no problem at all. I wrapped the bar in masking tape first to stop the tape ripping then used a fine hacksaw.

BTW, if you ever want to go down that route, they work fine with TouchDRO.

EDIT:  Should have mentioned that unless you remove the read head there is no need to clean up the end, it is encased in the mounting bracket.

Many thanks Brian, that's the beast. I even bought a new hacksaw today so now I have something to test it on 😊
