3-Axis DRO for Small Lathe and Milling Machines
This low-cost digital readout project enables lathe and milling machinists to change the position of a machine tools table without having to remember the previous position of the dial or the number of turns. Inexpensive sliding scales are used to read the XYZ position of the table. Data is much easier to read than on conventional DROs, with typically small LCDs, because it is presented on a seven-segment LED display. Accuracy is rated at 0.001². For increased functionality, the HD64F3664-based DRO can display in both the metric and inch-pound systems.
