help with power feed on RF30 table

[mopar geek]

Not to hijack the thread, but many people ask how to mount the DRO scales on their RF30. I did not want to limit the y axis travel, so the scale is on the front. Mounted the y scale by cutting up the supplied brackets. Gives adjustability, left and right, and in and out. The scale is mounted on a piece of aluminum. The slots in the scales gave adjustability up and down .The wiper, or sensor was mounted on the side of the mill on a machined bracket, because it is not straight up and down.

This is the thread for my DRO install. You can see how I managed the X-axis install.
I had a slight gap between the table and the column and the reader bracket forms a handy stop to protect the scale.

DRO install on LC-30A (RF-30 clone)

I started looking at how to install the DRO on my LC-30A mill. A big question I had was where to put the X-axis scale; on the operator side or the column side. This is the DRO, the YH800 model https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1000006632582.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.59284c4ddfUQRY...

Thread stealing ? Your input, Morpar Geek has allowed an expansion of the DRO installation, some of which I hadn't seen and it has really inspired me to get the job done. Thank you; in going through all the blogs many questions have been answered. I would also like to thank each and every one of the contributors for their great input.
Have a good day
