This is my version of a tailstock DRO bracket for the PM-1236T lathe, using an iGaging scale.
I 3D printed the bracket in PLA, using an infill of 100%. The top half of the iGaging scale slide bracket
is re-used to clamp the slide to the tailstock bracket with M4 screws. I enlarged and tapped the holes
into the PLA after the printing. A 1/4-20 screw was used to secure the bracket to the tailstock quill,
also enlarged and tapped (one side) into the PLA after printing.
The sensor of the iGaging scale is attached to the tailstock with double sided tape.
The STL file is available at : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5236928 and below.
