Hello all, I am a retired Technical Sales Engineer from a Vacuum Pump company. With 40 years of experience, if you want to know how to suck I’m your man.

I have a small workshop in the garden, mainly used for tinkering with wood and metal.

Specifically came on your site for help shorting the wires on my mill DRO. I have found my solution so thank you.
