=================================================================

These are four photographs showing how I have attached some cheap 
and readily available digital scales to my milling machine.

The machine is an Alexander Master Toolmaker, which is an English 
clone of the German Deckel FP1.

No holes were added to the machine at all, and it was only a couple 
of evenings work to knock up some fairly simple brackets.

The horizontal table readout is not easy to see when operating the 
machine, so a remote display is used which uses a magnetic base to 
attach to the motor switch housing.
