Hi everyone. I plan on buying a Chinese DRO and fitting it to my FP1. My FP1 is lever machine from the late 50's. I love using it except my eyes are getting weary of looking at the rule scales. Buying an expensive DRO like a Heidenhain is not financially possible at this time so I have decided to go the cheap route. I have heard good things about a Easson Es17 3 axis kit with glass scales.
I have never installed a DRO. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for fitting the scales to my FP1? I am trying to measure what scale sizes I need in particular. I plan on milling my own mounting brackets and would like to drill as little holes into the machine as possible.
