DRO kit only. The M-DRO 2 axis DRO kit design to the Myford ML7 and Super 7 hobby lathe with integrated cross slide encoder. The cross slide encoder requires the cross slide to be removed. To allow a block to be fitted to the end and a slot machining in the underside. All other mountings do not require any drilling or modification to the lathe. Step by step install guide. Suitable for the standard bed length. **Lathe not included

We offer an extensive range of digital readout equipment from most of the major manufacturers. This allows the most suitable options of consoles and encoders to be selected; based on functionality, price, and available mounting space. Both linear and rotary encoders are available in a variety of compact profile options. We stock a large range of adaptor cables and interfaces to allow simple replacement of damaged/faulty existing equipment for most manufacturers. A PC based DRO interface and axis summing interfaces are also available. Please feel free to contact our technical staff for further advice, or to arrange an on-site install by one of our engineers (UK only).
Can any of your systems be used on a super 7 fitted with the taper turning attachment?
Using the Taper turning attachment does make things a little trickier. The design of these kits is based around machines that do not have this attachment as they then require a lot of modification.

Is the embedded strip suitable for the longer cross slide (Myford option)
There are two standard lengths of cross slide, approximately 8 and a half inches long or 10 and a half.
Does this kit include the mounting arm for the main readout.
Thank you for your enquiry. Yes this is a complete kit with everything you need, including the display mounting arm. Many thanks
