How to turn digital calipers into digital read outs on a micro milling machine.?
I have recently purchased a micro milling machine. It does not come with Digital readouts. I am wondering if anyone out there can illustrate to me how to turn three calipers into an X, Y, and Z digital readout. I would buy a DRO kit but since I am a poor college student, I dont have the money for that. Any advice (especially diagrams) on how to do this owuld be greatly appreciated. Here is a link to the machine i bought incase that may effect things. http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/itemdisplay/displayItem.do?itemid=47158&CategoryName=&SubCategoryName=
You just need to build a two piece fixture, one piece attached to something that does not move and one piece attached to the vise. If you don't care if the calipers ever work as calipers again, you could even cut off the jaws of the calipers, drill holes thru them, etc. If you are interested in max accuracy, you need to be sure the caliper is exactly aligned in each direction. You might search some DIY (do it yourself) sites and see what you find. good luck
