Thanks so much!! The instructions that came with my unit are pretty much worthless.. but thanks to your vid, you made my day and got me on my way!! Cheers!
I really enjoyed this video. I have used the DRO on my bridgeport for over 20 years but just installed a DRO on one of my lathes.I didn't know about calibrating the tool to the work piece. This will be most helpful. Thanks
Thanks for the how-to, I have one of those dro's that I'm going to install on an old Atlas, it's near the top of my list of to-do's once I have my shop rehab done.
I have this same DRO, but the 3 axis. Do these have an internal battery? Reason I ask is that mine reads fine all day long, but the next day (after shutting it off for the night), won't read at all (shows FFFFFFFFF). I have to restore factory defaults, and then reset the resolution every morning to get it to work. Since it works fine, once I do that, I'm wondering if it has an internal battery that perhaps is dead? I can't find any info on that anywhere...
i have the 900-3db and cant get into this menu as mine only beeps once, if i press the S i can only get into the resolution parameters, any ideas for changing to lathe please?
I cannot get mine to work as I only get 2 beeps on startup. The way I got mine to mark diameter instead of radius is using the line compensation in the setup menu, you need to enter the pasword, 3211 to get in, go to compensation i think its x-comp or y-comp, pres enter and you get a value usually 10.0 (moved)press enter again an it displays observed with a number, you need to do this again but when you get to observed you need to put in a value of half the moved amount. this way for every moved amount it will calculate double and display equal to the diameter, you might have to do it a couple of times to get it down to the exact hundredth.
Brilliant thank you for sharing your experience

Thanks for watching
Thank you for this video
Thank you, glad you found it useful.
Hi there, recoently bought this DRO and cannot get the linear compensation to work, can you do a video on it please?

I’m not sure, but my guess is, that it must have a battery
They must. Mine (2 and 3 axis) keeps memory for days

Sorry, I really don’t know how

where can i find a manual for this unit ??
I looked all over the internet for one but couldn't find one. I received mine with my readout. Sorry I couldn't help you
