Thanks, my pleasure. These type of posts help me out a lot as I am very new to this game. My design is based on one I saw in the square column Yahoo group with some changes. It was very helpful to see pictures of different ways people have mounted their DRO's. Next time I will try to get some shots of the actual machining as I love to see them in others posts.

Your doing well, great job and great job on documenting it.
It will be a handy feature, I had a glass scale one no my returned mill and am only just getting around to fitting it back on this replacement mill after 3 or so year, LOL You will be lost without it once you have it, I know I was.

Keep up the great work.

Dave
