Quill DRO

**LMMasterMariner** · Jan 18, 2018, 02:15 PM

Quill DRO installed at mill/drill HF40939.
Little bit better quality than iGAGING DROs.
Know at least one guy (rossbotics) who would like to have it on his mill/drill.
Materials used: aluminum angle bars and 10 mm steel plate

Cheers

That is a very clean mounting of the DRO.

I have had great results with iGaging Dro and the price is right.

Now you just need TouchDRO.

Ralph,

Thanks for TouchDro information. Already have 2 iGAGING DROs installed on the same milling/drilling machine. One for X and other for Y axis movement. I am also happy with them even these are poor man's DROs, not real-time professional DROs. Also have another Chinese made (500 mm length) DRO (exactly the same as iGAGING but without brand name) which will be installed for Z axis (knee) movement.
Cheers,
