Summary

This part allows you to mount an iGagin 35-706 digital readout (DRO) to a King Canada 13" drill press (MODEL: KC-116FN). 

Assembly: 
-Use a single 1/4 20 bolt and nut to secure the part to the quill. 

-You'll need to do a test fit, then cut the main scale on the DRO to the desired length. 

-Using a drill bit that's slightly larger than the 2mm guide hole, drill through the printed part and the main scale. Unchuck the drill bit from the drill, then cut off the excess. 

-Secure the scale reader to the head of the drill press using hot glue or crazy glue. You could use screws. 

A few notes on this solution working with your drill press: 
These are a generic design common to many "manufacturers" reselling equipment under their brand (Grizzly, King Canada, Rikon, Jet, etc.). For example, the Jet TDW260 is likely the same machine, with the head painted blue and optioned differently - depth stop design, laser or no laser, motor size, etc. Same with the Grizzly G0485. All made in the same factory using many common parts.     

The alignment of the main scale on the DRO to the head of the drill press is important. 

This drill press has a 55mm round quill. The 3D printed part should accommodate quills that are slightly larger or smaller.

If your depth stop is on the left side of the head, it's likely to interfere with this solution and won't work. 

If this doesn't fit your drill press, hopefully it provides inspiration for designing your own part to fit your DRO needs.
