Re: Small mill dro
I made my X and Y axis DROs from some harbor freight calipers. My Z axis is a 1-inch travel dial indicator that adjusts vertically. Photos are available if you request. I also have some drawings.

Re: Extending cross slide travel -- what is the currently accepted best method?

Re: Extending cross slide travel -- what is the currently accepted best method?
The LMS kit has alonger screw (which should preserve the same position as stock away from the operstor) while the longer slot brings the position closer.? I thought this was as good as it got?
