This part allows you to mount an iGagin 35-706 digital readout (DRO) to a King Canada 13" drill press (MODEL: KC-116FN).
Assembly:
-Use a single 1/4 20 bolt and nut to secure the part to the quill.
-You'll need to do a test fit, then cut the main scale on the DRO to the desired length.
-Using a drill bit that's slightly larger than the 2mm guide hole, drill through the printed part and the main scale. Unchuck the drill bit from the drill, then cut off the excess.
-Secure the scale reader to the head of the drill press using hot glue or crazy glue. You could use screws.
A few notes on this solution working with your drill press:
These are a generic design common to many "manufacturers" reselling equipment under their brand (Grizzly, King Canada, Rikon, Jet, etc.). For example, the Jet TDW260 is likely the same machine, with the head painted blue and optioned differently - depth stop design, laser or no laser, motor size, etc. Same with the Grizzly G0485.
