Re: DRO on a 12X36 lathe

Hi Archie,
if you are not fixed on using glass scales, our DRO-2 would be a good
solution. It's a 2-axis readout that uses "DRO quill kit" type scales
and also offers RPM and cutting speed readouts. It also is by far the
cheapest commercial solution.
We still have a few units left in our introductory sale:

Best regards,
