When I bought the mill last year I didn't really understand the importance of a DRO. Eventually I got tired of chasing marks on workpiece and manual layouts. I realized that I would have spent only $500 more on the same mill with 3axis DRO installed. I got a discounted 2axis PM DRO shipped for $360.
Oh well.
At least I learnt to drill and tap cast iron. It was a bit unnerving but I was able to do 8 holes including breaking 2 drill bits. The fun part was designing brackets for both x and y. My basic fab and TIG skills really helped.
Was really fun to get this done. Looking forward to using the R functions in a future project.
