For this week's project I will be performing one of the final upgrades that I've been wanting to do to my Brown & Sharpe No2 Horizontal Milling Machine.
Anyone who's used a milling machine with and without a DRO will know just how much a game changer it is to have one installed on a mill.
For that reason, installing a DRO on this machine is a top priority for me and one of the final steps toward making this a "daily driver" machine.
However, because this mill was designed long before DRO's were even a consideration, getting one installed is a tad bit easier said than done.
Join me, as I drag this old machine kicking and screaming into the 20th century!

My Lathe: MSC / Prince 9517350 - 13x40 Manual Metal Lathe
My Milling Machine: Bridgeport Variable Speed Series 1 "J Head"
My other Milling Machine: Brown & Sharpe No. 2 Plain "light type" Universal Milling Machine
