DRO 3 Axis Digital Readout Display +3pc Glass Linear Scale for CNC Mill Lathe Machine (150+200+300)

I purchase several things on Amazon and was giving pretty in-depth reviews. From this point on, here's the new agenda…. if it works as advertised, is well made, meets or exceeds the description, is a value, and arrives in a fair amount of time, it will get a "star rating" equal to what my expectations were/are. If it doesn't meet these criteria, then I will most definitely and descriptively tell the short comings of the products and you as a consumer will not have to go through the trouble of buying the product without some background knowledge. If the sell pulls that item and relists under another description, I will put the exact same review on the seller's feedback page. Sellers have done this a couple of times in the past, and I was true to my word then as well as now. DR

they fit good on my Wen 33013 mill, just make sure you have plenty of drill bits, you will break a few installing these, the cast iron like to eat bits, once installed which is easy (besides the bits breaking), it works great, very accurate and read instructions, programming will get easier with use, I highly recommend these, make sure after you order to check the messages from the vendor from orders screen, then problem with order, they will ask you for confirmation of the sizes.

Just finished installing. Works great hope it lasts awhile. User Instructions aren’t too bad for china

So far it works like it should. A little challenge decrypting the instructions. After that with custom made mounts it works great!!

I ordered custom lengths (X/Y/Z=350/200/300) for a Grizzly G0463 mill. Increments of 50 mm only. This is a DIY kit with no instructions whatsoever. To get an electronic copy of the manual for the display, go to their website. Refer to the photos for details on the install. The scales have been accurate and repeatable, with easy on screen switching between metric and SAE. The read heads run underneath the scale, which keeps things cleaner, at least for the X & Y axis'. The included hardware, including scale covers are nice. I was able to use some of the parts, with the rest custom machined and 3D printed parts. I don't like that the read head is the same thickness as the scale, which requires you to shim the scale out to keep it from rubbing on a moving stage...a minor issue.

I've bought several of these, they are easy to install and easy to use. Amazing how many features there are on these economical DRO's. Bolt circle, find center, and many other features. They are very accurate also.

I mounted a 3 axis setup on a 1950’s Millrite knee mill. Needed to fabricate custom brackets for each end of the scale, and the reader head. The mount bracket arm for theReadout is a bit sloppy, and sags when mounted to the ram, but with some skill, and a minor rework, getting level is possible. I’ve used the $2500 Accurite digitals during myworking career, and these are great digitals. Bright screen with plenty of settings options. I highly recommend. Mounting is not for the amateur machinist.

I bought the 3 axis package for my Bridgeport. Mary and I had a brief discussion about the length of the encoders and the DRO arrived in about a week. It was exactly what we had agreed upon. The encoders had glass scales and were easy to install, the gaps and parallelism of the mount were very forgiving making it easy to get up and running.The readout has many features making things like bolt circles and hole patterns easy to program. The readouts are bright green and their intensity can be set from dim to very bright over 7 levels.I am planning to buy the 2 axis version to replace the Heidenhien DRO I currently have on my lathe and if you are in the market for a DRO, I would recommend this product as it is a good value for the money.
