I'm a new member, having found your wonderful site while stumbling through the net. I am nearly 70 years old and have 40+ years of experience as a flintknapper, blacksmith and machinist. I have a Myford Super7 and a Taig mill. I want to fit the Taig with DRO and settled on iGaging Absolute+ from Anytime Tools (I've confirmed that, as of now, that is what they sell). Fortunately I'm starting this project with steps in their proper sequence (often hard to get right the first time).
My plan is to isolation mount the scales on the mill using hard rubber faucet seat washers. These are available in various thickness. I'll read all I can find on this site about connecting the adapter board to the scales. I'm not the sharpest tack in the box when it comes to wiring. Any advice is welcome. At any rate, I think it would be wise to have everything I'll need before proceeding. By Monday 11/21 I'll have the scales and a 9vDC 800mA adapter and a plan. The adapter is a class 2 transformer. Is that the right kind? I'll be ordering the rest soon.
Thank you all for inspiration and direction.
