I ordered a new dro for my Bp style mill. Bought a Chinese dro at a great price for a 3 axis unit.i bought Sino Eros for lathes and have had good service from those but the price for the mills dro was 300 more for a Sino .
,I figured what the hell...the price included shipping and the unit had 5 stars by a lot of purchasers plus a 2 year warranty.
Let me tell you that mounting the z axis on the knee was a pain but it came out well. I am very happy with the dro. The only negative is the display is yellow and the led and the lit up numbers kind of clashed with the dim numbers and with the bright led lighting in the shop made it hard for me to quickly read the lit characters . I made a light shroud to block the lights and all is well.
Now that that was done I had the Sony DRO that I took off the turret mill and installed it on my Cincinnati mill. These machines need readouts to make it easier to run. After a lot of thinking of how to install it I got it done! Double happy now lol! Here are a couple pics .
