In this video, I will be installing an import DRO on my MSC / Prince, model 9517350, 13x40 manual lathe.
I will go over what you can expect when one of these units arrives in the mail.
Ill take a look at the contents of the packaging, basic assembly of the unit, and of course, what is required to install one of these units on the machine.
I will cover the fabrication of adjustable mounting solutions, and accurately aligning the scales with the axis of travel on the machine.
If you have any questions about the unit, the installation, or anything else, please leave them in the comments below.

Who am I?
I'm a hobby machinist, with a passion for old machine tools and manual machining.
I am here to share and learn.
Being self taught, much of my limited knowledge, has come from others sharing their experiences online, just as I am doing now.
My hope, is that by putting my work in front of much more knowledgeable machinists, we can all learn something new together.

My Milling Machine: Bridgeport Variable Speed Series 1 "J Head"
My other Milling Machine: Brown & Sharpe No. 2 Plain "light type" Universal Milling Machine
