A DRO on your quill will make your work more accurate and limit the risk of ruining a part your working on. Ive had one of these on my Bridgeport for over a year, and have had this one sitting in a box just as long... I finally installed it and showed you how.

Thank you for making and posting this video! My friend bought me the quill DRO as a gift (Thanks Kirby!) and I am now about to go install it on my Bridgeport! Can't wait to try it out - your video makes this so much easier, as I was delaying the thought of having to figure it out on my own! Cheers!

@LickinMahBallss Год назад

Hey dude, I realize some of your videos don’t get a ton of views so I just wanted to convey I really appreciate your content. I don’t have anyone in my life with the same building, engineering and fabrication interests so I have learned a lot from you. Keep it up. Thank you

@SchysCraftCo. Год назад

Congratulations. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.

Thank you Jared!

Ordered from your link on Amazon and got it next day. Your video really helps as the printed directions are not so good. Took about 20 minutes to adjust and sort out. Works well!

@tonymonastiere8510 Год назад

That on spot performance is always impressive, most impressive. Customers always call a perfectionist. It's like an insurance policy...it just keeps renewing. 🗽🇺🇸🎯💯

@ed.sol.crafts 7 месяцев назад

Bought through the affiliate link & followed install. You are the man Chris!

@york806 Год назад

Hey, thanks for the heads up on Vitograin, by Pferd, can`t get over how they remove steel..

@MakeEverything Год назад

They are the best!!

@doctorping5326 Год назад

Nice upgrade

@mastermaker666 Год назад

Need to get around to mounting the cheap x/y DRO I have laying around, modified some cheap manual calipers(dremel diamond-bits to make the mounting holes...) and mounted that to my milling machine quill, and this worked so well I'm not even considering replacing them with a DRO...

@michaelplays2449 Год назад

Nice up grade !!!!

@tonyheffernan6235 Год назад

Very informative, good job

@boltonky Год назад

The things that exist, i personally considered using a linear position sensor or something similar with a digital readout that is powered by the machine either AC/DC as i struggled to find a DRO that could do 4 axis that didn't cost both my arms and a leg haha. Keep up the videos, they are easy to follow and not everyone can do that

@ed.sol.crafts 7 месяцев назад

You are the man Chris! Thank you so much! Definitely picking one up!

@tomim7187 Год назад

Now, all I need is the mill. Someday.

@protect.your.digits.creations Год назад

Great video Chris , very informative and easy to follow .

@garagemonkeysan Год назад

Great video, well explained and shot. Mahalo for sharing! : )

@donswords6671 Год назад

Great video and to the point! I just installed mine but I am disappointed that the display is not at all bright. I need to adjust my body down a ways and a bit off to the side to get a readable display, which sucks really. Fresh battery. Might return because of this.

@buzzsah Год назад

A nice add-on.

@jeremyspecce Год назад

I got so excited i almost bought one... then i realized i don't have a bridgeport...yet Definitely thinking about one for my planer though, the scale is pretty vague on that one.

@yodasbff3395 Год назад

Good information 👍 thanks.

@Steelcrafted Год назад

Only down side is it blocks the ability to use that stop, or put on one of those split thread clamps that you can use as a quill stop.... typically you position the stop, bring the quill down against the stop, bring the knee up and touch off, raise the quill out of the way, dial in your depth with the knee, then use the hard stop on the quill to work to....

@MakeEverything Год назад

You can definitely still use the stop, it’s just a little harder to get to it. I use the stop on my Bridgeport with this DRO all the time without issue.

@markshort9098 Год назад

I got the same unit on my Bridgeport clone and it needed a sleeve turned up because they made the hole in my mill bigger for some reason.. mine came with a flat battery too but my only real complaint with it is the little rubber cover over the micro usb port keeps popping open so I might just put a tiny drop of glue on it since it'll never need to be used anyway

@sarchlalaith8836 Год назад

Since you have 4 DROS are you going to have them CNC.

@GibClark Год назад

👍👍👍👍👍👍

@WVWRZ500N Год назад

Thanks for sharing this video. I have an import column mill that came with a similar spindle DRO installed. I've done some DRO vs. dial indicator validation measurements and found some discrepancy with the digital and am now rethinking the accuracy of it. Did you happen to do any verification of measure when you first installed this unit? I'm considering buying the Mitutoyo version just to hopefully eliminate a quality issue. Would love to hear your experience on this.

@sturmdavid Год назад

A scale is accurate enough for spindle work. You should always leave the spindle locked at full-up, and use the knee for depth of cut adjustments. That is why they put a 0.001" reading dial on the knee, just like on the hand-wheels for the X and Y axis. Most machinists know this.

@donswords6671 Год назад

I'm thinking now you're probably right. The incremental setting is handy though.

@brentfowler2317 Год назад

That's legit! Now I want to put a DRO on my drill press!! Lol. Except it wouldn't do any good. Since my drill press didn't even have a depth stop, or lock to hold the drill in any downward position..
