Hi Abraham, I will PM you. Arbalist, I've not noticed any delay in the readout of my "Igaging" scales in use, only the problems of electrical noise mentioned earlier. But I do agree about some digital calipers. I have one that came from a trader at the Harrogate MEE, and that has a definite lag. Having said that it is very repeatable. If I measure a 25 mm standard it always gives me the same reading +/- a couple of tenths. |

That's good to hear about the Igaging scales, thanks. |

Interesting Arbalist I used to occasionally have that problem with the cheap vernier type scales. It was more a case of getting any reading out of them or some spurious readings. Readout from Warco used to drain the batteries in 2 days until figured remove after use or unplug the scale cabling which will wreck the contacts sooner or later. Whilst I think of it OP X axis on lathe is the way did Y axis on last mill and the proper way of attaching the reader rather than using the crap supplied bracket. All I will say is debris will find its way in to seemingly impossible places giving no warning of packing up. All three packed up totally within two months wasting £315 back in 1999. X cheap scale £110 in that, others £25 and £30 each plus readout £150. Newer bigger mill full on 3 axis glass Sino scales and 3 axis readout delivered £452 from MDRO prices have gone up since. Current lathe 2 magnetic scales and one X axis glass with 3 axis readout I think was £620 to 650? |

Hi Arbalist, With the scales I am using I do not get any delay. Am planind to put scales on the milling machine, but will go for glass scales. Abraham |
