59- Mill/Lathe machine - Aaron Nelson (USA)

A good effort by Aaron Nelson from USA again, on a Mill / Lathe Machine.

We have sold him a Reconditioned Fagor NV20 DRO unit with Brand New mTECH scales.



The Fagor NV20 counter install with the arm kit.




It is installed in a very neat and clean manner.
The red plastic on the reader head has to be removed.

Aaron comments:
"It was pretty easy to set up with the DRO, but I have to cut down the guard for the Y-axis in order to install it properly. I haven't had a chance to do that yet. "



He has done a great job to make a special bracket to fit the reader head.
The red plastic on the reader head has to be removed.

Aaron comments:
"The X-axis slide on the back side of the lathe is impossible to install the guard on- it's just that the way the lathe is designed is not very good. I had to fabricate a bracket for that as you can see in one of the pictures."

It is a good piece of work. Cheers.
