Hello,

Unfortunately you picked the wrong lathe to find something easy to install. Many of the dro manufacturers have bracket kits for most "Common" lathes. The lathe you quoted does not fall in that category so you will need to purchase a universal lathe brackets with the dro system and modify them as needed.

I'm sure I could make the mounts work i just need to be able to have the scales plug in, I have no knowledge in electronics at all. Do you have any idea of a good general kit for a mill with 22 by 9 table movement and a 5 inch Spindle Stroke.

Outlaw,

There are several vendors on eBay that sell inexpensive kits.

Outlaw,

Try http://www.hobbymetrix.com/scales/digitalscalemain.htm

They have different sizes to fit your mill. I do think you still have to provide the brackets for the scales.

Good Luck
