Today I built the DRO display mount for my mill. The main tube that came with the kit was too short for my applacation so I found a piece of tubing close to the right size and went to work. I milled one end to the thickness of the supplied tube (metric) so I could use the kit mount. The tubing I had was .120" wall so I added slots to lighten it up and add some hotrod style. I still have to paint the arm and mount but I will wait until I complete the z-axis scale mount and look at cable mounting options.
I love having machine tools so I can do this kind of stuff!
