Review on DRO 3 Axis Digital Readout Display +3Pc Glass Linear Scale For CNC Mill Lathe Machine (300+650+800) by Terrance Palau

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Can't beat it for the price!

Surprised at how fast this arrived. Ordered Monday received Saturday with xmas in between. Box arrived ok but hardware bags had split and screws were rattling around in the box. But overall I think packed quite well. No mounting instructions but not too hard to figure out. A dimensional drawing of scales would be nice. Mounted on a Bridgeport so brackets included were of no use to me. You will have to build a bracket or two for y and z just like on an exspensive setup. Fairly nice lightweight covers for the scales made of aluminum extrusion. WIll keep chips out but will get dinged if something hits them. Resolution can be set to either .0002 or 5 decimal places. Mounting arm for the DRO could be a bit longer. If you tighten the DRO brackets pretty good seems ok. So far I like the DRO features. Just like lots of imported stuff the grammer, syntax, and naming conventions in the DRO manual need work but not undechiperable. Unless you must have a name brand I can't see much wrong with the setup.
