That is why I dial indicators with 1 to 2 inch [25 to 50mm] stroke. It also takes care of DRO skipping too. Dave

DROs on dials don't take out backlash.? If you are thinking about DROs, attach them to fixed surfaces in order to get true readings. Ralphie

It is best to just get rid of those dial-based DROs. They are not as usful as the linear ones. The dail-based DROs don’t measure backlash I think the best solution for DRO power is wired.

I am just using the dials that came with my Speedway lathe that I bought 20 years ago. I have a 1-inch travel dial indicator that can be moved along the bed and a stop for the carriage that is

Really enjoyed the video. The way the world used to work. 8^( -- Lone Tree, Colorado? ?USA

Yup, they just turn the display off which saves bugger all power. There are some versions of these callipers that DO have very good battery life (like 3-4 years) but good luck finding them. I’ve

A lot of care! Wish I had one of these instead of a mini-lathe! Mike Taglieri

Bad news You buy AAA battery holders from Amazon and Walmart for under package of 4 to 6 $10.00. Some have a on off switch

They had some like for BP mills in the 1960's. They did nothing for screw wear in center or nut wear. FYI If try adjusting nut wear it would not work because of screw wear. Next travel dial They like

I have one of his motor/controller running my MicroMark 7x16. The original motor died...feels like one of the magnets dropped out of position. I selected his bare-bones 900W version. Fairly easy to

They don't turn odd when ya hit he switch , they just go to sleep . getting a switch between the batteries & the caliper someway will way improve battery life . animal

Is there any way of locking them? I have dicovered that my cheap HF digital calipers last a LOT longer on batteries if I carefully tighten the lock screw down after shutting them off. But they’re

I would just be careful not to spring for DROs on the dials.? ?I'm regretting that I bought the LMS machine many years ago with awful DROs.? The chewed batteries.? ?They may be better now.? If I

I have a Littlemachines lathe with really awful DROs.? ?They use V389 batteries that last about a minute.? ?I have the following questions: 1. I'm working on a 3D printed battery holder that

I have owned Colchester Lathes in past. They very good lathe. The only problem I found was the 80° bedway harder to make tooling. Dave

I think many on this list already know this, but when they say a "5 inch" lathe in the video that refers to the radius that will clear the bed.? Some parts of the world use radius.? Others, such as

A lot labor in just casting. Dave
