Sherline - Digital Display

Both of my hand cranked machines are located next each other. When I added the digital readouts I decided that I would save the money and use a single readout.


So I just leave the wires clearly marked nearby and plug in whichever I'm using at the time. Mainly it keeps valuable bench top space in order.

Of course the Zm (Z position mill) display never has to come out and remains plugged in all the time. I find backlash to be a constant challenge on the Sherline machines and so just resign myself to constant fiddling and compensating.
