<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 178313, member: 54&quot;]Yes last owner, an Army laboratory, added a &quot;dro&quot; short for digital readout.&nbsp; That keeps track of the moving table&#039;s location in X and Y directions, down to 1/2000 inch.&nbsp; DRO&#039;s are available that can be added to most any machine tool but seldom used on lathes.&nbsp; These may need some holes drilled and tapped to fasten on the position transducers.&nbsp; The mill was originally sold with precise- length rods and dial indicators to give position, but those must have been tossed when the dro was added.&nbsp; The troughs for the rods and steel pods for the indicators are still there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes the fly cutter uses traditional lathe cutting tools which can be adjusted in radius and secured with two set screws.&nbsp; A cheapo but usable set of fly cutters like mine has 3 cutter bodies in 3 sizes, with cutting bits, Chinese, set maybe $30-$40?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
