Hello members,

I am planning to install a 2 axis DRO to my Boxford 280 at some time in the near future.

Have any members done such an installation ?

If you have then please let me know, any information would be much appreciated.

Yes, Stan, I've done it. Mine is a Newall Microsyn system. It will depend on which system you're fitting as to how you go about it. I can email you photos of my set-up if you pm me an email address. I also did a few drawings of the brackets I used if they would be of help.
