Testing new spindle encoder.

73: Can't find trays that are low enough for these drawers.
72: This was problematic. the bar helped me scoot it into place. But I had to drill the holes on the oil pan one size bigger. I added hardened washers - without the washers it would move out of place as I tightened it. My take is the oil pan should have been matching cast iron and pinned.
71: 3D printed tray that fits in the tool cabinet.
70: Seal installed.
69: Seal installed - The slot to the right is where the sensor head wires will go out.
68: Had to make a special tool to install the Teflon seal
67: Read head - Epoxy coated
66: Printed some tool holders that I mounted on the side of a tool-cabinet. The ones that came with the red ones had slots instead of holes - eveytime I walked by, one would fall on the floor..
65: Read head with teflon wires installed.
64: Glued disk to faceplate - thinning to target to set the play in the mill's transmission's main shaft stack-up
