Again i am offering remote reading DRO’s for your lathe, mill, router, saw, etc. I still have a bunch of them. And 6” direct reading ones also for the quills.
Igaging.com is where they are from, in lengths of 6”, 12”, 24” and 36”.
Those little graduation marks on the little handwheels are really difficult to read for some of us, other just like the convince of knowing where they are and where they’re going . . .
Contact me for more information. Thanks

joe, im estimating in the $73 range. I figured a 5" diameter shipping tube about 16" long and about 3 lbs.
 
Is there a specific unit for the quill? If so what's the difference?

for the quill, either a direct reading unit (similar to a digital caliper) or unit with a remote reader have been used.
I did a direct reading one myself, just to not have to deal with another wire. however I may change it so I can have all three readers mounted on the same home made bracket. . .this is the way I did mine.

igaging and accuremote dro's

im going to do this again for the new guys that may be interested. . . . .adding Accuremote
I was in the tool repair & sales business for many years and now that im retired I see a desire on the machining forums for things, usually by other retirees. many of which are trying to really watch their pennys as I am. I am offering my services to others that share my machining interests.

Last May I became a distrib. for igaging tools and am offering them at very near cost, I had to buy a bunch of them to get the pricing I wanted. I have remote reading 6”, 12”, 24”, & 36” and 6” direct reading quill dro’s. like the ones on ebay, or check the “igaging.com” web site. they come with some misc’l mounting hardware and so far seem to be pretty decent in quality. I was also very impressed with a thing they call a cube level / bevel gadget and have a bunch of those too. they are very handy for putting parts in your mill vice at an angle based on the level of your table or mill, or setting the blades in your saw at an exact angle to the related parts of the machines. these can be shipped in a small flat rate box from the usps. you can read about all their products at their web site “igaging.com”. I have been placing orders from them about every two weeks when I run low on a product.

I try to get the best shipping rates available and must pass that on to you of course.

I am also a distrib. for a tool supplier call ALFATOOLS.com in ill. they have american, european and asian tools and miscl. where I have been offering quality drill sets, the most popular one is a 29 pc, USA made, stub drill set in a metal drill index for $57.50 shipped to your door

I accept checks and will take paypal if you’d care to add 3% on to the total to pay their fee. my paypal account sez I am a business, but that’s how it was set up many years ago.

I hope I can help you save a few bucks for more tools. . .

Now to add to this, I have Accuremote DRO’s and their related products available and they have a web site at Accuremoteusa.com . let me know if I can be of assistance.

the accuremote site lists anytime tools as a seller and their prices can be seen here http://www.anytimesale.com/servlet/the-Brands-cln-AccuRemote/Categories

that being said I'd buy from David as he's a member here and give us good deals on the products he sells.

Thanks, Brian, I'm aware of that site but I was looking for actual prices from David. Interesting that that site is cheaper than Grizzly (where I bought mine originally).

Thanks, David, I'll be looking for more of these in the future and your prices are very nice, I will be in touch.

What if anything, is different between iguaging and accuremote?

John, I do not have the igaging style but from what I've read, the igaging are not built as well as the Accuremote (The seals are supposedly better and they're stainless steel) and they power down after a certain amount of time, while the Accuremote stays on and the DRO reads faster. I'm VERY happy with mine, but still not a true glass scale DRO.

Thanks,
Dave
