I have installed iGaging dros on my 12” Craftsman lathe and Rong fu 30 mill / drill and have posted lots of photo’s. here’s the story. I’d be more than happy to help anyone else that’s thought about doing the same :
Last May I became a distrib. for iGaging tools and am offering them at near my cost, however I had to buy a bunch of them to get the pricing I wanted. I have remote reading 6”, 12”, 24”, & 36” and 6” direct reading quill dro’s. same as the ones on ebay, Amazon, Grizzly, etc they come with some misc’l mounting hardware and so far seem to be of good quality.
I was also very impressed with a thing they call a cube level / bevel gadget and have a few of those in stock also. They are very handy for putting parts in your mill vice at an angle based on the level of your table or mill, or setting the blades in your saw at an exact angle to the related parts of the machines. these can be shipped in a small flat rate box from the usps. Only $27.50 to your door,
you can read about all their products at their web site @ iGaging.com. I have been placing orders from them about every two weeks.
I am also a distrib. for a hard goods tool supplier call ALFATOOLS.com in ill. they have American, European and Asian tools and miscl. I have made available quality drill sets, the most popular one is a 29 pc, USA made, stub drill set in a metal drill index for $57.50 shipped to your door
I accept checks and will take paypal if you’d care to add 3% on to the total to pay their fee. my paypal account say’s I am a business, but that’s how it was set up many years ago.
Im attempting to put information on a facebook page I had prior to my retirement including mounting photos and other related things. Check it out and “like” the page. It should be found as “Birch Industrial Tool Service Inc” and this should get you there:
