Re: Mounting Z axis DRO

Hi John,

I found this.. much closer to the mill you mentioned....

http://www.finelinehair.com/home/DRO_mill_z-axis.htm

I type in these three words on google and get lots of stuff...
"dro quill mill"...all three at one time...just like it is.

I look for manuals when I can find them.(You already know that)

Hope that's useful.

John
