Relocating the PM1127VF-LB DRO - Focusing on Rigidity

[DavidR8]

looks good, I'm going to do something similar with my SB9. My only suggestion would be to brace the scale support/ holder from underneath as there's a fair lever arm there. A bit of vibration may cause the scale to bounce a little which can make the reading dither - I sometime have this problem on my Atlas which has the scale attached to the underside of the cross slide way cover.

I'm interested in seeing how you approach this.
I have a SB 10K and the curved carriage shape (similar to a 9A) is a real challenge for a DRO install.

still thinking about it Been through about 5 mental revisions and I have even put pencil to paper yet. At some point I'll be making a t-slot cross slide, but I'll have to cobble something up between now and then.

The Z28, and ZL1 were options and order codes that date back to the 60's far before Nissan. The Z28 was intended to compete in the Trans Am series and the ZL1 was a big block special order race car. GM still follows this idea with the current cars.

Thanks for setting me straight. l did not know that.
