Anyone fitted a DRO to Sieg SC4?

That's a neat set up! There has been some good ideas on this thread thanks to everyone that has replied. I'm still undecided!! Jim |

| 3 forum posts | If you are looking for ideas, look at Stefan's conversion http://gtwr.de/shop/pro_mykrodreh/dro.html He placed the scale left-backwards, only works if you cover the complete cross slide to protect the setup from swarf. He also dumped the wobbly top slide and made a solid block for the quick change tool post. On my Emco, I'll probably put the cross slide scale on the rear, right side. If anyone is interested I can post photos. - Martin |

| 16 forum posts | I have to agree with Jim. This thread has given me lots of ideas re DRO set ups on these types of lathe. Thanks to everyone contributing, maybe it will run on as a general thread on the topic! Terry |
