Hi guys, newbie question here so go easy on me
After years of working with drummonds, myfords, boxfords etc I have just taken delivery of a colchester bantam 2000. What I would like to do now, is fit a DRO to it.
As far as I can work out, the Z axis would seem to be quite straightforward, but on the crosslide, to fit the scale will mean covering up the gib adjusters and the crosslide locking bolt. Does any one have any tips or knowledge of how this would be best done. I`ve trawled the net looking for pics, and although there are lots of bantam 2000`s with DRO`s fitted, they all appear as though the adjusters are being covered by the scale !
Any advise greatly appreciated guys
