Getting A Better View

[master of none]

Hi,I saw this some where maybe on here not sure but any way I mounted a back up camera on my Grizzly 10" x 22" Lathe at the Back Splash right by the Chuck, the reason for this is so I could get a closer look at what I'm doing and I thought it was a cool idea.Well the road to Hell is paved with good intentions the camera is a little to small but it works good so now I'll just get a bigger camera and it should be fine and also when I replaced the way cover on my Grizzly mini mill I had a little left over so I used it to cover the ways and it works great,well that's it.

Thats an interesting idea! In fact, I would see a setup similar to this on a mill. Why? To facilitate reading of the dial when indicating and it is facing the other way. Instead of stretching your neck and try reading an approximate value.

That or a coax of course

I feel "dumber than dirt!" It just dawned on me that there is a camera on the tool post hooked up to what looks like an IPad. I thought it was the acrylic chip shield you were showing! Guess I should start learning to read the material that goes along with the pic. "Nobody told me I had to be smart just willing!" Nice addition.

That would be pretty nice on a horizontal mill too.

I probably should have been a little more clearer , and the whole thing cost me about 25 or 30 dollars can't remember but thanks for looking, Rick
