Charles has chosen to install the mTECH Scale in the front for the X axis.
He has also made some clear plastic sheet to prevent splashing coolant.

Charles says" X axis install was pretty straight forward but the Y was interesting because there was no existing surface to mount the reader head on."
Here is how he managed to install them.

See the special bracket that is made to hold the reader head. Ingenious.

Charles : "The scales arrived last Tuesday and I finished the installation yesterday. Everything worked out perfectly, thank you for a very impressive product"
Thanks again Charles for sharing with us.
