Hi

i have fitted these NVRs in the past from Warco

https://www.warco.co.uk/accessories/346-nvr-switch.html

I have fitted them to bench grinders too.

Looking good Rodger.

Now to get the 10V back on the go again.

Hi Roger.

After 3 weeks at sea I have finally had a chance to fit the Y axis DRO.

I opted for a fixed tape and moving read head.

I used the supplied bracket, then made another bracket to bolt to this, and then both bolt onto the table in the drilled and tapped holes already there.

The documentation which was supplied with the kit said the head would work with the tape up to 1 degree angle. This was the angle of the casting of the base, it works fine.

Anyway, hope you got yours installed.

Hi Roger,

Some photos of my X axis installation.

Paul

I was planning to post some pictures when done (if it’s a good enough job) as there are not many resources online about fitting this type of DRO.

I do have quite a bit of aluminium stock in the garage so will hopefully have something useable.

I am hoping to have some time tomorrow to finish the X axis and start the Y axis.

Paul

Hi Dave,

You have done what I was planning.

Thanks for the photos.

Paul

Hi Roger.

Im in exactly the same position at the moment, I should have the X axis completed tomorrow.

For the Y axis I think I’m going to have a fixed scale bolted to the base casting and make a custom bracket to allow the head to bolt into the holes already there on the table.
I’ve got the magnetic M-DRO kit.

I used an RDG Tools 11.0mm carbide ball nosed end mill with good results.

Hello everyone.

I am an engineer in the Merchant Navy (27 years), currently a Chief Engineer.

Experience in both two stroke and 4 stroke engines and steam turbine installations.

Just overhauled a 1957 ML7 and bought an SX2.7 mill.

Currently machining the castings of a Stuart 10V (my first project) in my leave. The 3 weeks on/off rotation suits model engineering!

Regards

Paul
