Customer Reviews for VEVOR 1 Axis Lathe Linear Scale 200mm with Accuracy 0.0002" Optical Length Precision Linear Scale Aluminum Body for Mill Milling Lathe Machine with Accessories (200mm(8"))

works very good thanks

There's not much glamour with a glass scale, it works or doesn't. The scale works great and comes with a good assortment of hardware. The mounting bracket is adequate but I needed to fabricate some pieces to extend the stock one but it wasn't an issue. I will buy this brand scale again for sure, and absolutely LOVE their DRO units like shown in the photo.

Apparently my husband loves it and works perfectly

Works as good as the higher price one I used before, well packaged and fast shipping, be ready to make some of your own hardware. I would buy again if needed.

Well made, install took a few hours because I removed the table and slides. You could do it without removing table. But I wouldn't. Very happy so far

I bought three scales for my little mini-mill for the X, Y, and Z-axis, and have to say I thought these were a great bargain. They come with mounting brackets, scales covers, mounting screws, and end covers for the scales which was an unexpected surprise. Be aware that although these scales are advertised as Mophorn, they are labeled Vevor which was fine with me because they are of decent quality. Mounting the scales required some creativity, but that would be with any brand. Make sure you measure correctly for the length and keep in mind it will be easier to deal with a scale a little too long than one that is a little too short. The 3-axis display appears to be a more solid display than the Cozyel brand I have on my larger mill. Packaging was excellent and shipping was on time. The only negative was the display didn't have a ground wire in the package, but that wasn't a big deal since I made one in quick order.

It came very quickly And worked perfectly.

Bought a 450mm scale as I needed something in the 18-19" range. Was surprised to find that the overall size is closer to 24". I can make it work on my small lathe but it would have been nice to actually get what I measured.Don't make my mistake. Look at the pictures for the overall length. Or as these are made by Vevor. Go to their site and match the scales up. Vevor lists the overall dimensions, the description above cuts those dimensions off the specifications chart.Pinout was spot on to the picture but like another reviewer said, the picture is of the socket the scale plugs into, so in essence think of it as reverse when looking at the scales connector. Worked with my Ditron DRO LCD display without having to modify anything.

I was loosing my Zero point on my X-axis, so I bought the 800mm one based on the recommendations of others. I received this one in good shape and installed the scale with no problems but a little elongating of a mounting hole (my original scale 37.25" compared to this 37"). From a little testing, it seems to be functioning reliably. Other sites would charge $230+ for a glass scale with shipping. Huge savings over the other popular web site(s) for scales. When my other 2-axis give me problems, I plan to come back. Very satisfied so far, hope time and use do not prove otherwise.

The diagram above is misleading. It would be correct for the socket that this scale plugged into. There are numbers next to the pins in the connector. #1 is on the left not the right. The chart is correct ( #2 is ground 2nd pin from the left on the scales connector) and ( #7 is +5v, 2nd pin from the left on the bottom row)otherwise it seems to be well made and works smoothly.
