Digital Read-Out Scales
A range of accurate and economically-priced digital read-out scales for fitting to either the horizontal or vertical travels of milling or similar machines. The scales are made from hardened stainless steel and they carry dual imperial and metric scales for approximate positioning and a sliding electronic digital unit for very precise measurement. The read-out units are equipped with buttons for battery on/off, inch to metric conversion and zeroing, the resolution is two decimal places for metric and three for imperial. There are fixing points provided at the ends of the scale and a bracket is provided for attaching the sliding part to the table or quill of the machine.
The best upgrade you'll do to a home workshop
"Even if you’ve spent decades machining parts by traditional methods, adding digital scales to your drill, mill or lathe will transform the way you work. With a little ingenuity (and you wouldn’t want this stuff if you didn’t have that) you can set up a set of three of these to precisely read the movement of your machine on all axes. Set up the job, press the zero button and you have accurate, repeatable measurements to within .01mm. Buy a set to turn the micro mill into really serious little tool, or to bring the old Myford into the 21st century. Great tools!"

"Retro fitted to the ZX25 Mill on the z axis. Turns an already good machine into a precision one. Be prepared to modify the brackets or make up some mounts from scratch."
