Hi all after consideration and looking at the Hemmingway kit I went
the electronic route as the mill is cnc I used the PC for a camera
with built in lighting about £6 pounds and the centre cam software
this is the link to the camera I brought usual disclaimer and if you
google centre cam you get the software
Because the camera is in a small metal case there is no need to remove
it
I'm pleased with the result anyway
Thanks Andrew Bishop
This was written up in MEW and Mike Trethewey offers the registration
for an additional £20. I went this way sometime ago with a redundant
old laptop and as Andrew suggests, a light up webcam from a computer
fair.
It was a bit of a so and so getting a down load onto such an ancient
machine but well worth the time.
Digressing( somewhat) Geometer in an old Model Engineer wrote up how
he used used a has;;f opf a pair of binoculars in a series called--
Microscope on the Lathe.
Today, a pair of Chinese binoculars costs a mere tenner at local
markets.
For a further 3 or 4 Quid, I added a cheap childrens microscope.
