Do I really need a 4th DRO to the milling machine . Part 1

- I have a 3 Axis DRO on the mill. But that is X-Y-Z . But I also have a quill. So I have purchased a stand alone one & here I am working out how & where to fit it.
Question. Do I really need one or would it be beneficial to have one. You tell me.
At the end of the video I talk about the Shield solution. I have looked it up again & it is a rust barrier. It is still available. Perfect for the workshop. As is Ct85 or even the trusted WD40.

Looks very complex! Hope it all goes to plan. Will be very useful.
Thanks Gary. We are slowly getting there.
Gday, having a dro on the quill will be very handy, great job, Cheers
Thanks Matty. Should have it done soon.
Regards. Steve.
Fitting DROs onto milling machines is always such a challenge. Looking good so far. 👏👏👍😀
Thanks Andrew. Do you have any stickers made. If so a swap is invited.
Regards. Steve.
@@Steviegtr52 No stickers as yet. Must add them to my must do. Thank you for the offer.
@@andrewdolinskiatcarpathian no problem. I just did mine in Microsoft publisher & used glossy adhesive printer paper. Cost very little to do. Take care. Steve.
@@Steviegtr52 Rustinox would be proud of you not using vinyl stickers. 👏👏👍😀
Good job, the small scale on the quill will come in very handy. As for me, I desperately need some DRO's in my shop. Cheers, Aaron.
Hi Aaron. Yes i was lucky that when i bought the mill it had a good quality British supplied 3 axis already fitted. So saved a bundle.
Regards. Steve.
Good project Steve, look forward to part 2.
Thanks Paul. Hope it will not be long before the metal turns up. Going to try & get a lens for the camera to video the Tig welding. Tried it once before & failed. So fingers crossed.
Regards. Steve. P.S Your sticker is on the board.
I had to make a part like that to attach a Mitutoyo scale to an old jig borer quill, there is no other way, it was worth the effort.
Thanks for that Dee.
Steve.
Saw you posted on my video, but TH-cam removed it. Thanks for your interest!
No worries!
Nice one steve,
i have a similar one on my Z,
that arrow rust proofer sounds good if you can still get it, i just buy wd40 by the gallon and use in a similar sprayer
Looking good Steve. Lol, where did you get ZQ from lol lol. Its W. You will need to have another christening now! Plans look good mate, keep it up. Cheers, Jon
Now i am confused. No No it's Zq. Or is it. So where did W come from. From,,, ????!!!!. What does W stand for.
@@Steviegtr52 On CNC gear (admittedly from the 90's), if you already have a Z axis but have a 2nd quill axis, it was always W, well at least on the gear I used anyway. Probably 3 or 4 different machining centres from different manufacturers all used this convention back then. ZQ also would work I guess. If it was mine I would go W, but that's just how my brain thinks based on previous experience. Use whatever makes the most sense to you mate, don't let me confuse you, I get plenty of opportunities to confuse myself lol. Cheers, Jon
@@jonsworkshop So i see the logic. Yes it is W. W-X-Y-Z.
@@Steviegtr52 you've got it👍
Can you fit to front, still using depth gauge? Could be easier?
Yes i guess so Gary. It's just finding places to fit brackets.
