    5ft of standing snow is impressive! we have never had more than 3 here that I am aware of.

      It was quite a bit of snow. All gone now. I hope your shed is getting cleaned up and you are able
      to get you equipment out. Take care Brian.

    Heck yeah. Make all the money you can on those steering parts. Nothing to gain by showing people how.
    I added a Chinese DRO to my mill quite a few years before Covid. At that time they were selling pretty darn cheap. Best addition I’ve made to my knee mill. Sure beats counting revs on the dials.

      For sure Bruce. I am liking the DRO's, speeds things up a lot. Thanks for stopping in.

    Great too here your area is almost out of the woods as far as rain & snow. we are to get a Pacific front moving in here by Thursday, and a cold front from the Rockies. Hope this one will be tornado free? Great to have you back, and thanks for sharing, Bear.

    Good one Randy, I so need a DRO for the old Bridgeport.. That Aikron display is really impressive for the price. Thanks for that code, I guess it's time 🤔

    • @RRINTHESHOP
      @RRINTHESHOP  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It worked great and the display software is very nice. It was a pain for me to keep the tablet charged.
      I like the not having to worry about it working and just walk up hit the switch and it is ready to go.
      I don't use the Logan lathe all the time but when I need to use it I want it ready. I work in my shop almost everyday and I hate it when I can't rely on a tool not being ready. Thanks for the comment.

    Randy, keep up the good work. I think we are all really patient and appreciative of your videos. I always check to see if "RR in the Shop" has released a video. I understand as I also have a channel, but real life keeps me from making any videos.

    Great wideo. I liked the slim magnetic scale for the cross slide, however when I went to the site you listed and set up the two scales and display the shipping was over $150. Thats crazy high for less than $400 worth of DRO. Did you pay those high shipping charges??? Thanks for the info

    • @RRINTHESHOP
      @RRINTHESHOP  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      1 display, 2 scales, 114$ shipping, that was for the surface grinder. 2 power feeds, 4 scales, 2 displays 363$ shipping. yes FedEx shipped, kind of pricy.

    Really nice to see You "up in the saddle" Randy! Nice stuff.
    Having no DRO, only digital scales attached to the machine by Neodym magnets, I manage. Now and then they need to be taken down removing the ferro chips creeping in under between the magnets.
    The Chinese.... They are like the bible grasshoppers of ancient Egypt, every ware.... Joking! Just ordered a Chinese boroscoope...
    During the visit, today, to "my" veteran railroad I brought an angle cube to check up an old lathe. It told the bed was flat but the spindle of the tail stock was like a banana, pointing downwards when it was extended. Good news that the entire lathe was not worned out.
