Customer Reviews for VEVOR Digital Readout Linear Scale 320MM 5 Bearing System 5 µm For Lathe Machine

I mounted this on my planer to help set cut depth and am completely satisfied with the results. The readout having a magnetic back makes it easy to place anywhere on the machine. The unit is accurate to within a thousandth, which is fine for my purposes. I mounted the unit using screws and spacers. The slide I mounted to the table using double sided foam tape. Took all of about 10 minutes to install. Would definitely buy again.

They can still be slid, just tight. These work super well and I've already made parts and let me tell you, these linear glass scales with my DRO display make easy work of it! You will not go wrong with buying these scales!

These scales are as good as the best on the market and some for a fraction of the price.I did have to open one to cut-it to match a pre-existing installation. I have to say, I was impress with there quality. Also with the in-expensive DRO I have outstanding precision with out error compensation.Here the good;Solid and think aluminum extrusion.Quality reading head, it's well assemble and have quality components.The mounting end cap are sealThere's two lips seal set to prevent contamination.Contact and connections well protected even inside the DB9 connector.BX wires is flexible and good quality, the length is more than sufficient.Easy to install and dial-in +/- .002" on two axes.Come with an adaptor (DB9 / RS232) to match two different type of DRO connection.The Bad!?! I didn't find any about the scale but the cover could be skinnier and have end-cap. It's funny, order 4 scale and one came with the end-cap !?!I'm recommending this product and I'm impress with the construction, quality and precision. It's easy to install and just need to be plug and play.

I was loosing my Zero point on my X-axis, so I bought the 800mm one based on the recommendations of others. I received this one in good shape and installed the scale with no problems but a little elongating of a mounting hole (my original scale 37.25" compared to this 37"). From a little testing, it seems to be functioning reliably. Other sites would charge $230+ for a glass scale with shipping. Huge savings over the other popular web site(s) for scales. When my other 2-axis give me problems, I plan to come back. Very satisfied so far, hope time and use do not prove otherwise.

I got a full set of these to retrofit my old Kearny and Trecker with a dro. The scales were well packed, arrived quickly and seem to work just fine. I used a touch dro adapter, the paper that came with these had the pin out so I could easily wire them up.

The diagram above is misleading. It would be correct for the socket that this scale plugged into. There are numbers next to the pins in the connector. #1 is on the left not the right. The chart is correct ( #2 is ground 2nd pin from the left on the scales connector) and ( #7 is +5v, 2nd pin from the left on the bottom row)otherwise it seems to be well made and works smoothly.

These work great there is a little bit of creativity needed to install but when they are in they work excellent! They are very accurate as well I would definitely recommend them!

used on my optical comparitor.

Works as good as the higher price one I used before, well packaged and fast shipping, be ready to make some of your own hardware. I would buy again if needed.

I bought three scales for my little mini-mill for the X, Y, and Z-axis, and have to say I thought these were a great bargain. They come with mounting brackets, scales covers, mounting screws, and end covers for the scales which was an unexpected surprise. Be aware that although these scales are advertised as Mophorn, they are labeled Vevor which was fine with me because they are of decent quality. Mounting the scales required some creativity, but that would be with any brand. Make sure you measure correctly for the length and keep in mind it will be easier to deal with a scale a little too long than one that is a little too short. The 3-axis display appears to be a more solid display than the Cozyel brand I have on my larger mill. Packaging was excellent and shipping was on time. The only negative was the display didn't have a ground wire in the package, but that wasn't a big deal since I made one in quick order.
