So I have been happily cutting round things on my RT for a while now, but there is still one sort of layout problem I have not found a decent solution to. That...
... How about a sector shaped plate that mounts on the RT, and has a way to clamp the work to it. You align the work with various circumference lines scribed...
Thanks, Barry. This is really good information on indicators. I have just recently obtained a dial-test indicator and am having trouble getting use to it's ...
Since the banjo is not large enough to hold a 127 tooth translating gear, you can get incredibly close with the 20/63 compound train mentioned. You might also...
Hi Ed: The best way I know of to do that is to sweep some locating bushings clamped to the rotary table. Clamp them approximately the radius you want plus the ...

Billy, May I ask what conversion kit you are talking about. In general, the dials on any of these machines are not accurate enough to use for minimally...

Can someone please explain the benefits for the inch conversion? I'm looking at purchasing a Homier mill and have been looking at the conversion kit as well. ...
IMHO, it makes no difference. I really don't know a MM from any Imperial without looking at a chart. You can use either for roughing cuts. When you get to...
I have the micro mark inch conversion on my 7x10,($70, i think) and find it's helpful when you're figuring out how many turns to count, etc, as the dial on the...
Lenny. I did the inch conversion on the mill yesterdayand it took about an hour or more. If everything fit like it should it probably would have been a half...
Here are a couple of pix of the $49.95 12" Vertical DRO from JTS, along with my counterweight system. The DRO appears a dead ringer for the Digimatic quill...
Ken, If you go here, this is a picture of a DRO that is apparently identical as yours. Mine is also. I paid less than a hundred for mine on sale. So you got...
I'm happy with my purchse, not "defending it", I don't have to "defend it" at all. Hopefully others might consider saving some money as I did, and if they do,...
What's the issue ? Ken got the cheapest DRO outside of a caliper conversion. He posted a picture and description of his upgrade just as anyone else would have....
... Jts is not claiming that it is made by Mitotoyo, just that it is Digimatic compatible. I own one of those 6" Vertical scales. Bought from JTS for $49....
Hi Billy: Ummm, my mill came with inch lead screws, so did yours. One turn of the dial equals 62.5 thousands or 1/16 inch. The leadscrews (and nuts) you bought...
Hi Brice: The biggest advantage to the .050 pitch screws is that it is easier to calculate mentally how far you have moved if you are moving a long distance....
Hey Barry. So correct. The 20 tpi sure is a lot finer than the 16tpi too. Dials are easier to figure out now for a close proximity to where I want to be. Billy...
