Hi,
I am new to grinding - but have managed to purchase an ACRA 618S surface grinder and plan to install a DRO on the grinder (the DRO will be arriving today).
I do have a question on mounting a bracket onto the head so that I can attach an aluminum strut to support the DRO vertical reading head. The shaft for the grinder head is circular and has no flat spots to easily mount an aluminum strut. I was wondering if people who have faced a similar issue (on the vertical axis) can post pictures of what their DRO install (bracket) looks like ?
I searched around the internet, but really cannot find much on this (besides Dudly Toolwright - but his grinder has flat surfaces to mount the aluminum strut to) .
thanks
Adam
