We are selling you the complete set.

TDS-3i (3 Axis Milling DRO) with 3 Precision Glass Scale with protective cover and all the necessary mounting accessories.

Everything is included, so you do not need to hunt down anything from your hardware store !!

 

 

This TDS-3i DRO is caters for inch and mm.

But in inch, it is make for easy reading
as the
display in inches is 4 decimal places.
e.g. the display will show (4 decimal places)  "0.1234 inch"

Some of competitors DRO, will show (5 decimal places) "0.12345", which is very distracting and unfriendly to the eyes.
 

MM/Inch reading can be toggle by just pressing a button

 

LCD screen provides more detail information, making operation Easy. It also provides polar coordinate reading.

 

 

 

3 piece of High Quality Precision Glass Linear Scale
(Photo only show 2 pieces, but you will get 3 scales)

Each individual Scale are checked by Laser during production to ensure they meet the industry standard.

They also comes with their corresponding coolant protective cover

 

 

Our TDS Scales comes with Double-Layer Rubber Sealing lips for double the protection against coolant and chips.

(Other scales only has Single-Layer Rubber Sealing, so their life spans are greatly shorten)

We do not want you to waste time to search for missing screws. We want you to have an easy and carefree installation.

Shim plates for adjusting the scales alignment and thickness

This is critical for getting the correct alignment, and we make sure you have these with different sizing, so it match any alignment problem.

Do our competitors offer them ??  It sets you thinking !!

 

2x Mounting blocks

For easy installation on uneven surface... Most of the time the Y-axis on the Milling machine will not be smooth.

So either, you make one yourself, or you buy from TheDROStore, whom had already prepare them for you.

A little thoughts goes a long way !!

 

Cables need to be tidy, that's why we are providing you with cable clips and cable tie to manage the cables,

It must be tidy and not hook on to something and break the cable.

No bother to check with our competitors anymore... we give you best value and ease the pain of installing the DRO system.

6x solid pieces of mounting bracket with the slots and screw holes tapped. (Sample photo only show 4 pieces, but you get 6 pieces)

You need these to get the correct mounting position of the Reader Head (Sensor Head).

I saw some seller in eBay provide only 1 piece of bracket. I can only say good luck to their buyer, and hope their machine is mould to suit their 1 piece of bracket.

You get good quality and good service, plus our in-depth knowledge of DRO installation !!

 

See what you can do with 4 brackets.

It allows you to mount, even in difficult conditions.
