Customer Reviews for VEVOR Digital Readout, 250 mm & 500 mm & 600 mm, Linear Scale 3 Axis DRO Display Kit with Support Rod Knife Holder Plate Transparent Watch Case Power Cord Watch Holder Butterfly Piece Screw Pack

A great price on a DRO kit that includes 3 scales. Saved money by getting this kit for my PM-30'ish mill, and cutting the scales to fit, Actually, I only needed to cut the X-axes scale (cut down from the 750mm scale). Installation instructions leave a lot to be desired, but the operators manual for the DRO is very detailed. All the mounting hardware is included, but not very versatile. I ended up 3D printing brackets and spacers for a "better" fit on the scales. Build quality... no complaints. Display is large and clear, buttons are easy to read and use. Comes with a clear cover for the DRO. Powered from 110v outlet. Seems accurate for what I use it for (hobbyist). Although it could be much more accurate than what I am capable of measuring. On cutting scales, there seems to be two different methods out there. One where you take one end off the scale and cut the extrusion, glass and all. The other where you disassemble the scale, remove the glass and cut it separate. I used the latter method and had no problems. Although I did break a tap on one of the ridiculously small end cap screws. If I did it again, I would probably just epoxy the endcap back in place.

Purchased 170mm, 320mm and 520mm scales. Accurate enough for the typical hobbyist. Nicely extruded cover for the scales to protect from fluids, bet the included mounting hardware is nothing special.

As a home hobby machiinist with a serious addiction to making chips fly I inpressed so far. With reolution to .0002 it has been surprisingly accurate. I rely on it quite a bit now, less and less stoping every pass for precision parts to stop and measure, abd no more counting handwheel turns. When buying it comes with some generic mounting hatdware but its not all that great and remember you are a home machinist make the brackets and enjoy the time in the shop. My mill sees about 30 hours of use weekly so far this dro has been durableAlso remember when mounting the linear scales they are optical glass rods. Free travel with no binding or loading along with true travel and mounting parralel to the axis is very important. Replacement optical glass scales are on averge $200 per scale. This DRO with 3 linear scales is a great value.

Installed in an afternoon. Most of the supplied hardware was of no use, but a few bucks at the hardware store and I was off to the races.As others have mentioned, the manual is almost useless. If you have some understanding of what a dro does, then it is good enough to fill in the blanks.Some of the buttons are abbreviated in an odd way (e.g. CTR for calculator), but it's not that big of a hurdle. Just remember that English is not this things first language.I had to set the resolution of the scales to 0.2 so they would read correctly. Out of the box it was showing 5 inches of travel per inch. That was a frightening 10 minutes, but everything checks out fine now.I haven't played with all the functions yet, but so far everything works great.

It is everything they say it is. No instructions for installation but if you are a machinist then it's no different than any other installation. The scales are glass so as always, be careful to not drop or just slap them on. You must make sure they are true and indicated to the axis. I personally like the owner's manual. It was just English and I didn't have to thumb through 5 other languages. So far the DRO works fabulously.

A lot more accurate than the dials and you can come back to the same spot with very high accuracy.

Works great. Looks like any expensive unit I have seen. I needed to make one of my slides smaller and I cut it slow on my bandsaw tapped a few small holes for the end cap and now perfect fit for my Bridgeport.

I wanted a 3 axis DRO for my Grizzly G1126 gearhead mill. This was the perfect solution for me and I had no trouble fitting it to the machine. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting an economical DRO retrofit solution

Need to be creative on mounting.. but when you figure it out!!! WOW!!
