$200 Mill DRO 3 axis Digital Readout from banggood [Unboxing Instalation Review]

Thanks for this video. I have a very old mill I bought a readout like this for. It’s not a standard configuration and mounting the scales was challenging me. Your mounting technique on this little mill got me thinking outside the box and I have 2 axis done. I need to shorten my Y and that’s next. Thanks again for the inspiration!

[@Chris-pb3se]

One of the best videos on this topic. Most of the others spend way too much time on deciding scale location which changes per mill.

[@TinC33]

Thanks friend

[@gangleweed]

Thanks for the detailed fitting instructions...........not all mills are the same as far as fitting position is concerned........I have a jig borer that is now a mill so fitting is a bit of a challenge in mounting position differences. BTW.....I wholly applaud the fact that you dismantled the glass scale to cut the aluminium and lastly the glass scale.....that makes it super easy with the diamond cutter in the Dremel and is far more precise.......I cannot imagine how anyone could think of cutting through the scale with a bandsaw even though it worked for them.

[@TinC33]

True, my eyes bleeding when i saw entire scale clamped into band saw, but it worked, because there are a bit longer glass then actuall needed.

[@ddegn]

Fantastic! I've wondered about these DROs. Thanks for making this video.

[@tommontgomery2674]

No need to completely disassemble the scale to cut. Just take off one end cap and move reader to the other end. Shim the glass on both sides with wood or plastic at the cut location to keep the glass rigid. Cut with the band saw through aluminum, glass and wiper all at the same time. Just file the end square, clean up and retap for the end cap. Done!...I've done several this way.

[@TinC33]

I saw that but i don't know look so dangerous to broke the glass...

nice clean setup Y axis cable might be bending a little bit tight you could probably give it a little more room by swapping X and Y cables in a clamps

[@TinC33]

Hello, firstly i try axactly as you say, but the cable constantly come out, this posittion is just great because cable hold under the scale itself, maybe look a bit tight, but it isn't. Also not many time move table to the limit, and if i do i can just put cable out of (under the rail) and there's bunch of place, like on 15:36

[@alanjackson4397]

Y axis reader could be flipped with cable pointing towards rear I did this on mine works great

[@lohikarhu734]

Great video! I really liked that you showed many of the little "gotchas" that you run into in mounting these things, the clearances, angles, adapters needed...great. when cutting the glass scale with diamond wheel, did you use any water? I made a water dripper from used medical infusion bag and line, which has a little roller to adjust the drip rate...you can maybe get these from a veterinarian? Thanks...BTW, do you watch ski jumping? Beautiful country you have, sir!

[@TinC33]

Thanks, no i didn't use coolant, because i only mark the line than broke the glass with a bit of force, if we want to cut through we need to use water, actually i'm one of few slovenian who don't watch ski jumping, maybe here and there because ither watching on tv 😉 where are you from?

Fantastic! I've had this same DRO for at least 10 years now (was running it on my lathe using only two of the axis). But I wanted to move it to one of my mills - which just happens to be... the same as yours! :O This will save me SO much re-inventing of the wheel. Oh, only thing I would do, is glue a sheet of thin felt (etc) under your Z bracket so it doesn't hit the scale.

[@GogebicYooper]

It was good to see that the glass can be cut. Thanks for the vid.

[@TinC33]

Yea, someone didn't even dissasemvle them, just cut entire scale on bandsaw, because glass is 2-3cm longer then measuring distance, but i won't try my luck on that way

[@GogebicYooper]

@@TinC33 Thank you for the response. I have been researching these DRO's all afternoon. It is not clear to me how to determine the size needed. I watched videos that show how to measure travel by marking the table and the mill base. However, shouldn't the length simply be the bed length for x and the bed width for y? And is that not why you cut them? What am I missing? Thanks.

The mill looks like the equivalent of the Optimum BF20? I wonder if any choice of scale would have been right, and it's better to go longer and cut them down.

It is the same those mill can buy in many different brands and they are all quite the same, i advice to take longer and cut them down you can get exact perfect leinght, it's not a hard job.

[@Jean-Raoul]

Hi, thanks for this wonderfull video, congratulations for your both perfect technical an scientific approach. I've got the same machine and wonder about : - due to it's drilling/milling design, did you find a real interest in use for the Z axis ? - In the case I would invest later in the third rule, is it possible to buy a 3axis display, but use only the X and Y rule ? Will the "2 dimensions" functions accept to work in this condition ? Thanks

[@TinC33]

Sure you can buy 3 axis display and only use two linear rails, i don't remember if i use Z axis but if i only use them once, because this mill already got a z axis dro on spindle and more or less i use this as z axis, real z only use for rough adjust...

[@JoesAutoElectric]

Man, you have some skill! I have unfortunately just bought the Igauging DRO like you had before. I would have bought this if I knew it worked so well, but for now I will live with the other one.

[@mickcarson8504]

Interesting video. Quite well explained but too much fast forward has lost me. I have a Sieg SX2LF and and the first problem is, I can't find a power feeder for this type of mini mill. Secondly, I have exact type of linear scales as shown here. and they are longer than the ordered lengths. I have two, one for X axis (ordered as 400 mm but came as 520 mm) and the other for Y axis (ordered a 250 mm but came as 360 mm), I have no choice but to shorten them to fit the milling table (X) and the Y movement. Your video about how to shorten the scales is excellent, particularly the removal and shortening of the glass strip. Hadn't it been fast forwarded I would have had a better idea on how to do it because, I believe, the shortening of the scales is quite a delicate operation, meaning, stuff it up and you're done. So, up to the installation of the scales to the machine, I mostly understood, but the ending part where it is programmed or tuned, I am somewhat lost. I purchased the DRO from Banggood, less the linear scales, in October and have had a lot of bang but not good, as I have been trying to understand why the scales are sold over sized. And this video does explain it all. As for the third scale (Z). I will do that later, as I have to decide where to install it beside the machine. Your machine is quite a beauty, however, at the end of the video it looked like the machine was working like a CNC, like auto milling the work. Do you have that on your Mill? Also, do you know where to get an auto feeder for my Sieg milling machine? Mine is smaller, but packs quite a punch, quiet too. Once again, thanks for the video, I feel confident and happy to try to shorten the scales now. Cheers mate.

Top, that must be ordered exactly in the link because there are several choices. Is it possible to put the cart type comment cordially

[@TinC33]

Banggood sell 3 different dro's but i test this one and give you a link only for that dro, because i don't know others. here in that product link is all you need, but need to make at least 3 orders with different "size" you need one digital read out 2 or 3 axis and 2 or 3 scales, choose the leinght you need.

TinC33 is it possible to put me the link cordially

[@TinC33]

@@speedfight49 you mean that: www.banggood.com/custlink/GDDvelDz9C Its a link to that product, than you firstly choose one reedout, put to cart, than choose scale leinght you need, put to cart and so on, than just go to cart and buy, is that what you think, because i don't understand perfectly

[@ddegn]

As TimC33 suggests, you need to add four items to your cart. The 3-axis readout is the very first option. After adding this to the cart, you add three of the linear scales. You can combine any sizes of scales you want. I didn't know it was possible to shorten the scales until I saw this (very interesting) video.

[@speedfight49]

TinC33 Or can I find the 3 axis machine to automate it with this material?

What about import taxes?

[@TinC33]

I don't got them, banggood start to ship via netherland, so last time i reaceived everithing from netherland (EU) so there's no tax, maybe thay payed before, and also banggod offer us insurance for tax, so if you must to pay tax banggod will give you back all the money till last cent you need to pay. I use that sometimes and it actually work.

Sarebbe stato molto interessante capire passo passo il funzionamento in dettaglio del DRO anziché così velocemente...

[@TinC33]

Maybe but need 30 min long video to explain all the functions, as i say who will buy them figured out all the function really soon, because it's somekind logic...

Build a Stepper motor on all axis - Problem solved

[@TinC33]

But than absolutly go to cnc conversion, but need to replace threading rod add lubrication of rails... And mill lose his ability... I like this mill because it's manual, so i can align some edge in a few second, meanwhile i can't eaven start a pc... If i go for the cnc i will make new smaller mill. This one will alwas stay manual, because use them toomuch to convert them. But i seriously thinking to add auto support like on x axis also on y axis

[@TinC33]

Plus if you got just 1/4 turn deadband on the trapezic thread all the information from motor is lie ;-) than mill grab something loose some step and you don't know where you are anymore. I'm for the DRO ;-)

Have the same DRO from Bangood, One scale never work I ask them a replacemrnt and they never replace it. So i will never by someting from Bangood

[@TinC33]

Hmm strange, i got few years of experience with banggood and lot of orders, sometime some items, come demaged, not their fault, the'r just seller.... but always, really always we find good solution to solve the problem, basicly i send them a short video about non working stuff and they give me full refund or send me new item. Did you try to send them videos or photo? also you can chack if all the cables on socket and sensor are soldered good.
