Don't be fooled, any help is good help

I'm in Ramsgate, Kent. Are you a Brit over there Comments like "on the back of a fag packet" suggest it.

Also in the background of the pic is an example of my other interest, I'm recreating some of the models from the old Ramsgate Model Village, using original construction methods.

Well can I ask for a bit more help from you? what scale lengths and accuracy did you order for the DRO on your Bridgeport? I have been in touch with them, seems easier than shopping in the high street here

Yeah, me and the wife moved here 8 years ago from near Oxford, our 2 girls were born here (age 5 & 7 now) so are proper bi-lingual.

I went for 1x700 & 1x300 with 5 micron accuracy, I went with a 2 axis as thats what was on it and am looking at a digital scale for the quill, didn't see the point in paying the extra for a 3 axis system. They seem a good company to deal with, answer emails real quick.

Hope this helps you out.

Hello Stuart

Only me

I have had a reply from the people about the DRO, now i'm confused, probably the best thing is for me to ask you the model number of the one you have?

You seem to be well pleased with it, and a price of $220USD can't be bad.

Apologies for getting back to you so soon.

Regards

Brian
