I have a 1954 9" South Bend Metal Lathe that I want to retrofit with
Shooting Star DRO Read Out.
I have decided that the best place to mount the cross-slide head is
inboard (toward the headstock), and back away from the ways.
This will mean the "rack" will be cantilevered over the back side of the
lathe.
Has anyone here retrofitted their South Bend Lathe with DRO, and if so -
how did you mount it?
Thanks for any help you can give.
