Thanks for posting that. I'd love to add a DRO to my Myford, but didn't realize they were that cheap. Guess I'm working some OT tomorrow, and measuring a lathe tonight.

I take it the prices are in US dollars?

 

[gerritv]

Yes, USD

Thanks for posting that @gerritv. I particularly like the availability of magnetic tape.

A DRO for my lathe just got a whole lot closer! I'm just picturing a strip of tape stuck to the bottom of my compound inside the dovetail section with a cavity milled out of the saddle for the read head - or maybe added into a block at the back. No more worries about tailstock interference or chip accumulation.

I'd like to see a copy of the manual though. On the surface, it doesn't appear to equal the functionality of the Ditron. But appearances can be deceiving.

@Susquatch if you PM me your email I can send you PDF versions of the Aikron A30 LCD display, or just shoot aikron an email. They responded with the manuals in a few hours for me.

Another member already sent me the A30 LCD Version. But thank you for offering to do the same.

It's great that Aikron is so responsive. So is Ditron albeit with a longer delay time.
