    dro and laptop

    Yuriy (TouchDRO developer) has advice on his pages WRT precision and glass vs magnetic. In my case mine were a combination of regular and low profile glass with mag embedded in the cross slide on the lathe and a custom installation on the mill quill driven by space. WRT precision, when I was...

    dro and laptop

    One more voice here, I have it on my lathe and mill and carry one tablet between basement & out building. I like the continuing feature development, the fact that we can interact with the developer and that it runs on non-proprietary hardware. D :cool:

    L00 backing plate

    I ran into the same issue cutting the taper on a D1-6 plate and the best I could do was turning very slowly (like bull low) using a choked up boring bar and a very carefully ground and polished HSS cutter. The sharper the better. This was for the shallow finish dimension cuts. IIRC I tried the...

    Use Acurite 5 scales with a Chinese DRO?

    Looking at it that way, right now TDRO is more capable than I am and Plus will bring more. The one cool function I like the most is the ability to enter coordinates and view them on the GUI display, I don’t recall if the far east stuff does that but I expect so. In TDRO they change colour as...

    Use Acurite 5 scales with a Chinese DRO?

    According to Yuriy the current board acts like a dongle to enable (unhide) the Plus features built into the app. When I was shopping I compared the manuals for both but I didn’t do anything like write a document proving it if that’s what you’re asking. He talks about his soul searching in...
