    Need Digital Readout System for my Mill.

    Hello everyone,.

    I'm a new member to this forum, have been playing with my Optimum F30 mill and now i'm looking for a digital readout system for it. I want a 3 axis system. I'm having a hard time to find any web site that sells it. Best would be to get a complete system. I was thinking somwhere around 1000$ for my budget.
    Can some one help me with this please.

    Best reg

    DRO

    The SMW Precision system is excellent. No problems, if it is installed carefully.

    Good then I will order next week.. I was wondering what the difference is between the pro and this model? is it just the hardware or is there software items also?? maybe something that makes processes easier. Jeff

    SMW DRO

    Call Ken at SMW Precision, he is very helpful. The pro dro has sealed glass scales and a good quality digital read-out system. You can check them out on eBay.
