Re: [gingery_machines] new article available: Basic Digital Read-Out Functionality on a Mill

 

Rick,
Thank you. That was very informative. I didn't run mills very often, so I don't have a lot of experience with DRO's. This article clears up a lot of confusion on my part.

This is another in my series of articles for people new to our hobby. The
Digital Read-Out (DRO) is no longer the super expensive addition to
commercial shops. They are commonly found in hobby shops although some of
the advanced functions are missing. Not to worry, those professional shops
rarely use those advanced functions anyway.

This article discusses the everyday functions of most DROs:

. Absolute Zero. 2

. Incremental Zero. 6

. Tool Offset Define and Tool Offset Use. 7

. Electronic Edge Finder 8

These are the ones I use all of the time.

If you are interested, please see:

Your comments and questions are welcome. All of us are smarter than any one
of us.

Rick
