As I
mentioned this is the only DRO system I have ever owned or installed so
I can't compare it to other systems.
I can say that I did a lot of research
on the DRO's available and for my needs & budget the Meister BC-10
had everything I was looking for.
I purchased this system from the
DROstore
in
Singapore which is a Powerseller on Ebay username
BB1401.
Believe me I did a lot of
checking and emailing people before sending my money overseas.
Everyone I contacted had only
positive comments and were very happy with the products and service.
All emails were answered
promptly and I received a tracking number when the item shipped. It did
take me
awhile to figure out where to
track it from. I finally found a tracking website called
Track-Trace
and using the box
Post/EMS(with
USPS) I was able to track it.
I received my order in less than
two weeks and in perfect condition.
I am in no way associated with the
DROstore or the seller, just a satisfied customer.
Using The DRO:
I have not had the DRO
system installed very long on my Grizzly G4003G lathe but so far I am
very impressed.
I make a lot of parts with
multiple OD's that can be very time consuming. I would have to stop and
measure four
or five times on each part.
With the DRO I can produce these same parts in a fraction of the time.
I do take light cuts on the
finishing pass to ensure close tolerances are kept.
The Meister includes a user
manual that does not go into great detail but it does cover the basics.
Like anything new it took me
a few times to figure out what I was doing!
I am still learning all the
features and I will add more soon.
Thanks & good luck,
