Tailstock DRO for Weiss WBL250F

thingiverse

This is a simple method to add a DRO to the tailstock of the Weiss WBL250F metal lathe. Still trying it out, but appears to do the trick. Used with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LOAXJJE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 A potential issue could be that there may be insufficient ram retraction to eject Morse tapers from the ram.... Because this is still proof of concept, the DRO tailstock bracket is attached to the tailstock using 3M VHB tape. It may suffice as a permanent solution. If not, then the tailstock can be drilled and tapped M3 to hold a modified bracket.
