seeking anyone that can recommend a proven power feed and/or DRO that easily installs on a RF40. Anyone? Looks like ebay has a few to select from under $300 ! Anyone bought and installed that stuff?
 
ok so I will answer my own question on the power feed for rong fu mill drill.. looks like ENCO currently has the best deal at $276 shipped.
Now I just need some DRO suggetions.. Just want 2 axis and need a cheap way to do it. I do however want a decent size display.
 
Not much help here but shopping for 2 axis DRO as well. For my situation I am considering DROPROS 400
12 X 30 magnetic package. I like the Zero out ability. On their website there is a good illustration of the mounting on a Mill/Drill "Installations-# 36" man did a neat job.
Have a good day>

nice unit and a great price!! can you post some photos of your z axis installation? wondering how that would fit on a drill mill.
 
I bought a 3 axis from the DRO Store in Hong Kong (I believe it was Hong Kong). Price included FedEx shipping. I had researched the scales and appear to be the same manufacturer that DRO Pro uses. I am very pleased with it.
 
happy camper - do you have pix of how you installed the z axis? which mill do you have? mine is a Rong Fu gear head unit, round column.
 
Take a look at one of my earlier posts...its cheap and it works.

You might try looking at Aliexpress for a DRO.
I bought my 3 axis from them for a really descent price and it works great for my needs.Here is link http://www.aliexpress.com/item/free...dout-with-3-pcs-linear-scales/1524501216.html
There are many others to look at

Are you still happy with the Aliexpress DRO now that you have had it for a few months? I looked at the link that you posted and the DRO package looks pretty good, price is most attractive after looking at others. I have no experience with a DRO, but I am considering the purchase of one for my Grizzly G0755.
Thanks for your post and reply
