While waiting for my Shapeoko Pro thought i would try and make a dial gauge holder for my Shapeoko 3.
Used a 3/4 by 12 inch piece of scrap cherry and a 1/4 inch long cut router bit for the router mount.
Drilled 1/4 hole for the mount and 3/8 holes to mount the dial gauges. A little bit of filing on the holes but everything a tight fit. Thought i would have to epoxy everything but it all fits nice and tight.
Back to the Drawing board
Mounted and tried it out and found out it’s too high to pass under the X carriage when I rotate it. Might have worked OK if I did not have the T Slot kit mounted on top of my spoil board.
Anyone have a design that works for this?
