I took delivery of my Chinese 3 axis DRO for my mill yesterday and I am over the moon!

At £131.48 delivered through Poland – so no taruffs, duties or extra charges it seemd too good to be true. This was the complete kit with 5 micron magnetic scales.

I ordered in early January and was advised on ordering that there would be a delay due to Chinese New Year. I was advised of shipment and departure from Poland, the final carrier was DHL with a signed for delivery in perfect condition.

Everything sprung into life on powering up, (only snag being European plug that needed changing). The control panel is fitted to my mill and the X axis scale should be operational tomorrow.

The only downside is the sophistication of the control panel against a unit I was using some 30 years ago!

Whoops! Thanks for your correction, they are indeed glass scales. I had spent many hours comparing suppliers and my eye locked onto the supply from Poland and ignored the detail.

I am still pleased with my buy though hate having to come to terms with old age and decling brain cells!
