Pm25-mv With Igaging Absolute Dro

I made a little progress on the x-axis mounting blocks.
I attached a pdf of the drawing.
BTW, I'm liking Fusion 360 so far. as a CAD tool
I clamped the blocks together while milling the ends to be sure they were the same length.

Now they're ready to cut the slot and drill the holes.

Finally got back to this project. I finished up the scale mounting blocks. The 10-32 button head screws will serve as clamps to hold the scale.

I made a bracket to attach the reader unit to the saddle using the holes for the pointer.

I attached it to the reader with some M3 button head screws. I thought they would hold better than the Phillips style that came with the iGaging scales.

I reused one of the M5 pointer screws to attach the bracket to the saddle.

Next step is to trim the scale to fit the table. I'll also do something to tidy up the wires.
 
Any updates to this?

I just got my 3 sets of Absolute Plus DROs today. I think I'm going to do things similarly except for the Y-axis. I really am not a huge fan of that huge cantilever arm going out to the scale. Thinking about doing L-brackets to mount the scale vertically to the table mounting bolts.

EDIT: Also wanted to say thanks for the CAD drawing of those x-axis clamps.
