Fitting DROs to BF20LV milling machine

[david chadwick 5Participant @davidchadwick5]

I have just acquired my second BF20 LV mill. Here in Australia marketed as Optimum brand , but a generic design similar to Warco, Chester etc.

I fitted the Optimum brand magnetic DRO system to the first machine and while it is very easy to fit, is limited in its capabilities . I want to fit a Sino 3 axis system to my new machine. The mill has fairly tight clearances to allow the glass scales to be fitted. Can anyone point me in the direction of a video or detailed instructions specific to this Mill? Youtube has dozens of videos for ,it seems , every Mill in existence except the BF20!! There is only one I can find and the set up looks very Heath Robinson

Any assistance much appreciated

thanks

david
