1545 forum posts 484 photos	John (Pollard), I have a Warco VMC mill with R8 spindle. I, too, am very pleased with it and it was purchased with Warco-supplied three-axis DRO system and X-axis power feed. Fitting photos are in my album and I made drawings of the mounting, if they are any use to anyone -PM me. To get to the point, I recently fitted a vertical digital scale to the quill in place of the horrible sliding scale. Again, photos in my album. It uses the original mounting locations, so the scale can be removed and the original parts replaced, if necessary. John Whoops, sorry. Just checked and the dro pictures AREN'T in an album. I am away at the moment, but I'll put them in one when I get back at the weekend. Edited By John Hinkley on 14/09/2016 09:36:30
