Starting Out Simple

I had been thinking about a title now for about ten minutes now and realized that maybe I should just start out simple.  As you can see to the right I am Bret Golab. I have been cleaning and repairing linear scales in the lab for almost 10 years now. I have just under 5 years of field service under my belt.   

My intent in this page is to provide help to those that are the do it yourself kind of people.  Don't hesitate to comment with questions if you have any. 

Whether you have a single length guage and a DRO to a five axis CNC, the linear and rotary position devices (linear scales and roatry encoders) all pretty much operate under a few unique principles. I will cover them all to an extent throughout my posts so come back soon.
