Installing DRO on Lathe

[Buggy Chief]

I finally finished my Precision Matthews DRO installation on my PM 1228 lathe. Not hard, just time consuming. The biggest challenge is to mount on the tailstock side of the carriage requires a lot of thought if you don't won't to give up gib adjustments and travel locks. Changed out the Socket Head cap screws that were for the locks to hex bolts so I can still access them.
