Leblond lathe gets a DRO part two - Y axis

       Saw where some kits have a mounting plate like this for installing on as cast surfaces. Made my own out of aluminum flat.
 Scale needs to be aligned with the sensor heads path. These plates give adjustment for this.
Painted the mount gold as I did not have any gray. X axis scale is .00005" resolution and Y .0002".   Go this from  http://www.drokits.com/
Very pleased with it.

  1. Nice work on the DRO, I have a 13" 2HP toolroom Leblond, 2B1464 which puts it at 1957. Just picked up a DRO and am ready to install, like your pics, hope mine looks that clean.
