I decided to add a tailstock DRO to my lathe for those occasional times when you need a precise depth hole. The Atlas tailstock doesn’t have any flat surfaces to mount anything to so I decided to use the oil dropper hole. The hole is stepped and is about .375 on top and .345 on the bottom. I turned a post to match, mounted it to a 1/8” piece of aluminum and screwed it to the reading head of the DRO. It works great and is easy to take on/off as needed.![105C4E38-F51B-4402-93A2-B6837D25035E.jpeg 105C4E38-F51B-4402-93A2-B6837D25035E.jpeg](https://www.hobby-machinist.com/data/attachments/267/267113-98971e8d24292598322d988b76fa6f82.jpg)
