Thanks Steve for posting this. Really excellent idea to keep it out of harms way! Simple & Elegant. I finally sub'd your channel today after seeing your comments many times. I have done some tests on those iGauging DRO's and found them to be very accurate and repeatable and may try one on my Mini after seeing yours...plus they are cheap and cheerful to my liking. Thanks! ~PJ

Hi Steve,

Excellent presentation and a smart design for the DRO mounting. I found the DRO testing vs. the worn leadscrew very useful and something I should consider on my lathe.

Thank you, Paul

Thanks Paul. I agree people should check the screw, especially if they have an older lathe, mine is around 75 years old.

This is a great video but when the embedded video is clicked (on iPad and regular Windows 7 pc) there is a right sided block ad that effectively crops the video.

I was able to view it only by pulling the YouTube link and going directly to YouTube.

Thanks for sharing the DRO with us. You did a great job!

Thanks for the nice comment.

Does the add overlap only happen with videos or pictures too. I know most people post pictures and a write-up, I prefer videos, if a picture is a thousand words, then a video has to be at least 10,000.
