Some Bridgeport DRO scale mounting pictures for your review
Finally getting around to putting a DRO on my Bridgeport. Wet with a Chinese import. Scales shipped from USA, but the DRO is stated to ship on the 10th(Monday) I home the shit hitting the fan in China doesn't interfere.
Anyway, I got measured my travel and got the closest glass scales available. Turns out that the 700mm for my X covered my coolant drain holes. I did some checking and found I could shorten the scale to just inside the holes and still have the needed travel.
The scale for my quill was just a bit long also, so I shortened it too.
Anyway, I will post an update when I get the actual DRO - it is an LCD model. So I am looking forward to the enhanced graphic based features.
