2 Axis Digital Readout System (DRO) for 10" & 12" Swing Atlas/Craftsman Lathes Attention all Atlas and Craftsman lathe owners with 10" & 12" swings and 36" capacity (bed lengths up to 54" overall). Now you can quickly and easily add the precession, speed, and accuracy of 2 axis digital electronic readouts (DRO's) to your Atlas or Craftsman 10" and 12" swing lathes. Your lathe's ease of operation and accuracy will improve so dramatically that will wonder how you managed before. 32" Scale: Horizontal Reading Electronic Digital Readout Mounting Brackets, Screws, and Double Nuts for 32" Scale Support and Mounting Beam for the 32" Scale Two 33" Water Resistant Scale Covers with Velcro Attachments 8" Scale: Vertical Reading Electronic Digital Readout Mounting Brackets, Screws, and Double Nuts for 8" Scale Support & Protection Bracket for the 8" Scale One Scale to Cross Slide Bracket Two 9" Water Resistant Scale Covers with Velcro Attachments 2 Extra Batteries for the Above Scales All Necessary Mounting Screws, Nuts, Washers, & Bolts Tap Drill and Thread Tap for Mounting Screws Complete Printed & Fully Illustrated Installation Manual The system comes to you partially assembled. All you will have to do is mount the system as outlined in the detailed instructions and set the alignment of the scales to the bed ways of the lathe and cross slide. These procedures are accurately set out in the fully illustrated and detailed instructions. LatheDROInstCvr.jpg (12855 bytes) Both of the included scales offer an extended operation set of buttons and functions. Most scales offer the on/off and inch/metric buttons. These scales also include the ABS/Zero button to provide resetting the "zero" starting point or setting it relative to another point, i.e. setting absolute zero as say the chuck face but also have a temporary zero at some critical point on your work piece. You could then always know how close you are to assure no collisions will occure while maintaining your accuracy from that marker on your work piece. Also provided are two indexing buttons to move the preset point up or down the scale. You can use these to reset a beginning point on your work to provide quick relative offsets from a new reference point with out having to recalculate all of your offsets. And remember you are doing this at an accuracy of 0.0005", far greater accuracy that the analog vernier scales on the lathe can be consistantly read. The included instruction manual will provide you with step by step fully illistrated instructions for installation of the DRO's. Please read the complete instructions before installation and note the pitfalls of a poorly aligned set of scales and how your machining accuracy can negatively impacted. Complete operational instructions for the scales are also included. LatheDROInstCvr.jpg (12855 bytes) Email me at sofia-chang@machine--tools.com with other needs and/or questions.
