Cost effective up market

I have had enough of ebay calipers, so decided to try a bit upmarket but not go mad.
I bought a set of Machine-DRO's own brand calipers this time. The transaction was easy and the calipers arrived quickly.
There is a intangible difference between thease and the ebay stuff. They feel better quality, there a little heavier, the screen and buttons are clear, I would like to have seen the buttons a bit larger. A small indication of their quality is the thumb wheel. On this it's solid doesn't wobble and seems precise.
All in all a very good buy.

Fabulous Customer Service!

Buying a DRO from Machine-DRO for my Myford ML7 lathe some years ago was one of the best decisions I made. It has performed flawlessly and now I am upgrading my lathe to a Super 7 version Machine-DRO have been incredibly helpful answering my questions about how to transfer it over. I cannot recomend them highly enough!

Reliable

This Mitutoyo vernier is the best I have used to date. There are three in the workshop, but this one is smooth and completely accurate. It arrived well packed and in good order. Good experience buying from you some years ago. Thank you very much.

I used MDRO many years ago for my first DRO ON MY mill. It has proved a very good asset.
I have now replaced my mill and a new DRO and the service was excellent and from what I have read in the comprehensive manual it is written by an English speaking engineer…..thanks
