Mounting 3-axis DRO to my RF-30 clone

Thanks for your excellent write up @Gravydog. I just purchased an RF-30 clone and there will be a DRO in its future.

@Gravydog, where did you source those extrusions for your chip guards?

I've ordered the same DRO and it looks like the guards are included.

I have made a small change which I think is an improvement. I moved the mounting point for the display arm up to the bottom of the belt guard/cover. Now the arm mounting is higher and farther back so it allows more room for your fingers to pull the top rear downfeed handle. Be sure to use large washers above and below the sheet metal for less sagging of the arm.



I'll be making another post about the stuff you see on the left.





Hope this helps someone sometime.
