We purchased this product after testing several products and it represents excellent value for money. This is a good product, does what it's supposed to. Some improvements are possible. 1) Finer pitch lead screw for better motion control with reduced backlash 2) The four screws holding the transducer to the stand may be more accessible. Accessing them is a bit difficult, especially on the left side, due to the offset scale. Overall a good product for small labs, prototype shops.
