Mounting brackets to add [this iGaging DRO](https://www.amazon.com/iGaging-35-706-P-Digital-Readout-Display/dp/B01G4FQI64/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=igaging+dro&qid=1595273331&sr=8-1) to your Sieg X2/Harbor Freight milling machine. You will need thin aluminum or steel to attach the encoder to the machine. Aluminum or steel is required for this purpose. The Z-Axis mount may work well on a lathe as well, suggesting its potential versatility. Designed with M5-0.8 fasteners in mind, you will require 4 x 10mm screws per axis, 2 x 30mm screws for the Z axis, 2 x 16mm screws for the Y axis, and two of the M6 bolts that came with your machine to attach the X axis brackets. Based largely on https://littlemachineshop.com/images/gallery/Instructions/2016DROInstallation.pdf, which has been adapted to fit the dimensions of the igaging parts. Ensure that your machine is capable of 3d printing a threaded hole, as these parts have modeled M5-0.8 threads. The X axis can be installed using the already threaded holes in your table. The Y and Z axes require drilled and tapped M5-0.8 threads to be created.
