Started on the DRO for the mill yesterday, worked on it quite a bit today and finely have the head mounted and the Y access complete. Along with the power feed stops.
This is after I changed thing from my first install. At first I lost 1.75" of travel on the Y access, I only gained about .5". I'm still down about 1.25" of travel on the right side. I'm sure it won't be a problem for a while if it ever becomes one, making new brackets will solve the problem.
I made the little aluminum bracket on the right to mount the Y access stop switch.
Then I mounted the rail on it's side to conserve some room and make things line up. I still need to install the chip guard and do something with the wiring.
Because I rolled the switch I had to reverse the internal switches.
Slowly, I'm making progress.
