Hi,
I'm installing a nice looking Chinese DRO on my Bridgeport and have just installed the Linear Scale to the Table. The Scale Reader (not sure of the real name) is temporarily tied to the Scale with thin plastic wrap plus a red plastic 'something' as in the attached picture. Is this a spacer to be removed after screwing the Reader to the Saddle? I've a feeling it is to be removed but I don't want to destroy anything if I am wrong. :o
Thanks and regards,
Charles

I can't say, because I am not there, but it is common that the read head will be immobilized for transport. If that is what it is, don't throw it away. You may need it again.
