| Sizing Dro Scales on Sieg sx2 Plus |
| (1/3) > >> |
| Buell:
Im just about to order a Chinese set of Dro scales and Display for a Sieg SX2 Plus its basically the sx1 with a larger table I think. Anyway have measured up and wanted a 2nd opinion if i have gone wrong here in my sizing or idea. The x travel is 280mm and the Bed size is left to right 400mm The Y Travel is 150mm and the carriage size is front to back 220mm The z Travel or height of complete column is 500mm. Now the Scales are in 50mm increments...so in theory if you want a travel of 280mm you would choose a 300mm ? which then the Physical length is 300 + 150mm or thereabouts for mechanism. which in theory means its going to be longer than the Bed.. Have i Missed something obvious ? Many thanks in advance also anyone bought from Aliexpress, bangood, Ebay etc with good results , and whats the deal with the Shipping duty thing does that kick in or do they generally say its worth a dollar to get out of it ? |

Buell, Sino do 16 x 16 section scales and do a 280 mm scale. The overall length is 383mm. The range is called KA200. I bought the system for my lathe from the UK so can't comment on buying from China. Cheers. Phil. |

You need to add the size of the read head to the length plus clearance . |

Thats what i thought so it will stick out 10 to 15mm at either end of the bed. So when i have seen most scales they all seem to be either shorter or the same length...thus they wouldn't have the Full travel of the machine ? |

I would buy the long scales about the length of the table; makes mounting easier. It they are the Aluminum/circuit board capacitive style, then they are easy to cut. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk |
