Daishowa Lathe Master on CNC Lathe with Renishaw Tool Setting Arm?
Hi Y'all, I have an opportunity to purchase Big Daishowa's Lathe Master at a reasonable price. But I would be using it on a lathe that already has a Renishaw tool setting arm.

Wanted: Small-ish Optical Comparator
Hi Y'all, I'm looking for a gently used optical comparator in good condition for our university's engineering manufacturing lab. The ideal machine would be a Mitutoyo PH350 or 351 with a DRO (or good manual micrometer dials), but I'm open to other reputable brands. I can spend some money, but...- UtahTechFabLab
