Improve the accuracy of your manual milling machine when you retrofit it with one of these digital readout (DRO) systems. They measure and display precise tool positioning on two axes.

Install a digital readout (DRO) stop and fence system onto the setup for your miter, chop, or radial arm saw. It displays measurements on one axis, allowing you to cut pieces up to 94" with high precision.

Mount one of these digital readout (DRO) systems onto your manual lathe to increase its accuracy. They measure and display precise tool positioning on two axes.

Measure diameters, angles, and other complex geometries—like an optical comparator—but without all the training. These gauges have an easy-to-use touch screen that guides you through taking measurements step-by-step. Extremely precise, they measure in the smallest increments of any height gauge in our offering, and they’re also our most accurate. Use them in machining and toolmaking to mark material before cutting it. To fly through big batches of work, program up to 50 types of repeated measurements.

From calibration reminders to calculation error alarms, these gauges have functions to make sure they give you accurate and consistent readings. Upon startup, they walk you through a scale check to detect traces of contamination that would cause errors. The air bearing system helps the slider glide smoothly up and down yet holds its spot steady when it’s time to measure. Rotate the screen to read it at the angle you need. Zero-position memory, also known as absolute (ABS) positioning, retains the measuring position even when the gauge is turned off.

With up to two months of storage to record actions and measurements, these gauges create an archive you can look through and identify trends. Connect them via Bluetooth to your phone, tablet, or other devices to remotely monitor and analyze data in real time. Otherwise, use the SPC data output to connect to a computer or data processor. To send data right into programs such as Excel, use a USB cord or RS-232 cable (both not included).

View measurements on an LCD display to quickly confirm height before you mark and cut material. For high accuracy and precision, these height gauges use a linear scale with an encoder. Sensors in the encoder detect exact positions and convert them into electronic signals, getting rid of human error. With an SPC data output, you can connect these gauges to a computer or data processor to analyze data and monitor measurements in real time. They have zero-position memory, also known as absolute (ABS) positioning, which retains the measuring position when the scale is off. All are rated IP54 to withstand dust and splashing water.

Gauges with a magnetic base anchor to metal surfaces, so they won’t move and throw off measurements. Made of aluminum, the base is lightweight.

Gauges with a hand wheel give you smoother and finer height adjustments than sliding the scriber up and down the column.

USB adapters (sold separately) connect your gauge to your device to send data.

Wireless data transmitters (sold separately) send outputs to your computer from nearly 50 ft. away. They cannot be sold to the listed areas due to product requirements.

Wireless data connection kits (sold separately) directly send outputs to Bluetooth-enabled devices from up to 16 ft. away. They cannot be sold to the listed areas due to product requirements.
