I had a bracket made for the Wixey WR500/WR510 so I can mount it on my DW735 planer. It is a direct replacement for the OEM scale with slots for mounting screws on the Wixey bracket. The bracket is made of stainless steel cut with a water jet. I ended up with two of these brackets. I'll sell the extra to the first person to PM me. $20 plus shipping.

I'll post a photo this evening.
 
Adding some pictures.

You do need very short screws and I'm going to use a couple of oval nuts because I have them and they are low profile. The slots allow the Wixey bracket to be adjusted vertical to align the bottom with the planer bed.
 
Hi Mack, I'm in SE Minnesota. Funny, I thought that was in my profile. I wonder where it went.

I finally got around to installing the DRO on the new bracket. It made adjusting the height of the Wixey bracket easy. I never did like the idea of using that adhesive foam tape.
