    ‘The best thing an amateur machinist can buy’



    DRO Consoles benefit machinists of all skill levels and bring a new degree of accuracy to the projects that require absolute measurements. For one of our customers who previously purchased a M-DRO System (now a discontinued display) from us in the past, it has helped him achieve the accuracy needed to get the job done.

    This is what he had to say: ‘It really is the best thing an amateur machinist can buy. It improves the users accuracy tenfold and is so useful in simple jobs. Whilst  I currently only use it on one setting, measuring the amount of cut I know it does so much more.’

    If you would like to experience pin-point accuracy on your Lathe/Milling Machine, browse our DRO Packages by clicking here. Alternatively, you can contact a Product Specialist on 01992 455921.

    DRO Console on a 1950’s 18" Archdale Vertical Mill (Customer Images)



    You can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but you can certainly improve it. One of our customers has set up a new Easson 3-Axis Digital Readout Display Console (Part No: DRO-ES-12C-3LCD) on his 1950's 18" Archdale Vertical Mill which is no spring chicken. With the help of our in-house Engineer, we were able to help the customer successfully program the console to get it functioning accurately. Once the successful install was completed, our customer started work on creating a repair sleeve for a gear type oil pump which proved to work perfectly with the help of his new DRO Console.
