Re: New trav-a-dial

 

For longitudinal travel on my mini lathe I use a 1 inch?travel dial indicator thet clamps to the lathe bed. It can be adjusted or removed.
I used the 1 inch travel one because?it was what had. I would buy or use a 2 inch travel one.

Back in 1970's most shops remove and put DRO on. Then complain about skipping after the glass scale got oily or coolant?

So never put DRO'S on lathes
I only put DRO'S on mills.?

Digital Scales are best. They tell you exact position and you don¡¯t need to think about back lash. I have had them on my minilathe for years
