![]() 93 forum posts 20 photos | Happy new year to all subscribers! Flush with some cash after the festive season and doing a withdrawal job on the local bank under cover of darkness I have thought about fitting a DRO to my warco machine. One of the things I notice is that the readers and the scales are fairly chunky which while i won't be too much bother on the long travel on the cross slide the mounting will cause all sorts of headaches to wit: gib screws, carriage lock, and room to get the tailstock in close. I see Warco themselves offer a DRO system but I was hoping any subscribers here who have one of these lathes and have fitted a DRO to one might give me some pointers of makes and models, pros and cons etc. |

Even I managed to fit them.! They are a tad more expensive though. But on a small machine IMHO worth it as you lose very little of the machines capacity. Nick |
