Digital readout on Dore Westbury

[David Clark 13Participant @davidclark13]

Hi There

I thought website members may be interested in the readout I fitted to my Dore Westbury mill.

This done a long time ago and the mill ended up on the Isle of White.

The principles may help others to fit the cheaper readout scales.

 

The Y readout scale (front to back in the photo) was bolted to a block on the back of the table. The read head was bolted to a piece of gauge plate fitted between the column and the base.The scale moves backwards and forwards while the head remains still.

 

The X readout head is bolted to the lower fixed part of the table and the scale is bolted to either end of the moving table.

 

This worked well but I should have added perspex covers to it.

regards david
