Re: Carriage Stop and Indicator

Thanks for the compliment, Ralph.
I have wanted to go with the Touch DRO, but every time I look at Yuri's site I am intimidated buy how little I know about that stuff.
But since you are using it on your mill, maybe I can ask you for help when I get stuck?

Thanks Bill, I really like how you mounted the DROs, probable the nicest looking that I have seen.
Have you looked at ?
It is a great free Android Tablet application to display DRO info.
I use it on my mill and will use it on my lathe once I have added DRO.

I made one from aluminum and it works ok on my Southbend 10k. I have the standard micrometer stop but it doesn't let me get close enough to the spindle when using collets. The narrower one I made for the micrometer gets me close. I've been wanting to make a better looking unit and came across these castings. These will take a little work but I think they look great. Perhaps they can be machined to fit the Atlas Craftsman lathes. I'm going to get 2 they are fairly inexpensive. You can also get them custom machined here.? Take a look at his drawing to see if they can be machined to fit your lathes.?
