292- Scales on Optimum Milling BF20L and BF20 - from "Grasshopper" & "The Master" (Spain)

Thanks "Grasshopper" and "The Master" - Spain (Madrid), for sharing their installation of mTECH scales on their Optimum Milling machine.

Thanks for providing the description in both English and Spanish. Cheers

Here is their introduction to mounting the scales:

Introduction
Photos show the procedure to mount glass scales
on a BF20L milling machine. Manufacturer is Optimum
There are several small milling machine very
similar to this, so, this photos can help the
people interested to mount glass scales
and forget the tedious turns counting of handle.

Introducción
Las fotos corresponden al montaje de las reglas
en una fresadora BF20L de la casa Optimum.
Existen fresadoras de otras marcas muy parecidas,
por lo que estas fotos pueden servir de guia para su montaje.
y olvidar el tedioso conteo de las vueltas de la manivela

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.
