Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] RE: DRO ENCODER TOOL

Tom,
I did remove the clip first by using one of those "dental pick"
type tools to lift up on the internal tabs until I could
get underneath it with a pair of long needle nose pliers. On my
motors there is a very shallow groove on the shaft. It's above the
ring, but I was concerned the tabs would lock into that groove if I
left it on.
