Hi David

I fitted a DRO to me 3 in 1 and found it quite simple to do and a very useful addition.

Cheers

The quill feed on mine has one too and it seems to work well, as you say Bogs, I think the batteries could get quite annoying though!

I was looking at these: http://www.machine-dro.co.uk/index.php?target=products&product_id=111 Still quite expensive though, would be the best part of £500 for a 3 axis by the time you got the scales and covers ,which is nearly as much as my milling machine cost! However, from my experience of using them at University, if they were installed correctly it would transform the machine! They have other features on them too, such as PCD calculation etc.

John Stevenson:
Try these fixed price DRO's.

I have bought the 3 axis mill DRO and the 2 axis lathe DRO in the last year and I'm very pleased with them.

Support is brilliant

JS.

NickG:
thanks John, they look like a really good deal!

Hey John,

Where were you when I was buying my setup? You could have saved me a decent wedge.

I searched everywhere for mine, and that link never came up.

The only decent one (other than ones who thought theirs must be solid gold, for the prices they charged) was the one that Nick came up with, which was the eventual winner.


John
