Thank you for the 5 star review Phil :)
So far so good
All parts there on arrival. Comprehensive fitting instructions and DRO manual and both in good English not pidgin Chinese. Fitting in hand, waiting for fresh taps, not a good time for breakages but looks like there'll no issues.

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that all parts arrived as expected and that the fitting instructions and DRO manual were clear and easy to follow. We strive to provide high-quality, well-written documentation, so it's great to know it met your expectations. We're also pleased to hear that you're confident there won't be any issues during fitting. If you need anything else, feel free to reach out!
Speedy response
Speedy response and the new version of the display worked staight away. However it is far more complicated to set up than the unit it replaced. There are quite a few settings that have to be inputed to configure for lathe use.

Thank you for your feedback, we're pleased to hear the new display worked straight away and that you received it promptly.
We appreciate your comments regarding the setup complexity, particularly for lathe use. Your observations are valuable, and we’ll be passing them on to our product development team for consideration in future updates and support material.
Excellent customer service
I bought a linear scale some time ago and lost a small button which made the scale unserviceable.
I emailed Machine-Dro and was amazed to receive a prompt reply and the news news that the part was available at reasonable cost.
This was much appreciated and credit to Machine-Dro as a company.
Highly reccomended!

Easily the worst experience possible
Easily the worst experience possible - it's inaccurate, there is no technical support & the manual tells you to press buttons on the unit that aren't there.
Accuracy is supposed to 5 microns - I'm lucky to get to with 100, the tool store setup is impossible to follow from the manual, & it randomly changes the base tool. I have spent so long trying to get this to work well, but now have given up - I just haven't got the time to spend on it, calls to them are never returned. Just don't buy one - mine is fitted to a Myford Super 7 that is spot on from the dials, the DRO never gets near.

A good experience for me
A good experience for me. Easy website to use. Found exactly what I was looking for. Delivered in good time. Can’t really ask for more from an online retailer.

Contacted them for advice on what DRO…
Contacted them for advice on what DRO to purchace on friday. No technical assistance available. Still waiting for a reply tuesday night. Not good customer service. Seriously considering whether it's worth the risk of purchasing from this company.
