This is a bracket to hold a digital readout on an Atlas 618 lathe tailstock.  It was designed to hold a 6" horizontal DRO I bought from Taylor Toolworks, but it seems they no longer offer it.  I cut down the scale to work in this application.  The screws that hold the DRO to the bracket are M3x0.5 x 6mm.  I believe everything else was 4-40 hardware.  I never got this to completely work - the clamp on the quill kept slipping.  My eventual plan is to remake that part out of metal so I can get a tighter clamp in the small space available.
