New Planer in Shop

[Farrell]

Hi Paul - Wixey, not Dixey! No they didn't. They supply a variety of 
brackets that are supposed to work with most benchtop planers. I just bought 
a small sheet of steel and cut, bent and drilled - brackets took less than 
an hour to fabricate with my crude methods. I purposely mounted the gauge 
and track several inches out from the machine to provide some flex 
(side-to-side, not up and/or down) to accommodate misalignment. Worked 
perfect the first time.

If your machine is like mine, I have a bunch of close-up pictures of the 
brackets. If they would be of benefit to you, let me know and I will email 
them to you or anyone else privately.

What is a DRO? (Digital Read Out?)
