Here:Can you provide a link Bob?
Bob,And unprotected wiring and batteries that go dead.
Milliing machine complete 3 axis packages with glass scales custom made to your specs in one millimeter increments up to 1000 mm are available for $228, including freight, no taxes. Arrives at your door in about 3 weeks. No extra charge for specifying slim scales. Oh, and the scales can be calibrated dead easy to be dead accurate, push a couple buttons to calibrate them. That is mounting issue, easily addressed in software. Can't do that at all with the iGaging or Accuremote scales.
That helps a lot, Bob.Terry, I and several of my friends chose that system because it seems like the most bang for the buck. There is some risk involved, but really about the same as from any other sellers. We have all had good transactions. One readout failed after about 20 minutes of use, and is being replaced. The site is Shenzhen Siton, here is their home page:

It is necessary to contact the seller after ordering to give them the details of what you need. I do not see a way of contacting the seller before placing the order. Read the ads very carefully. I do know that orders can be cancelled before shipment. Hope that helps...
Some of the systems have been installed, and some partially. My installation is not started. No glitches reported beyond the one readout failure.Have your or any of your friends installed the units yet? Any installation or operational glitches that were unanticipated?
It is required that you contact the seller after the sale with scale lengths and any other option choices. In reality, the seller will contact you, which makes it somewhat easier.I assume they will provide contact information for specifics once they receive the order, correct?
Thanks.Some of the systems have been installed, and some partially. My installation is not started. No glitches reported beyond the one readout failure.

On my order there was a "Message to Seller" box during checkout. I listed my desired dimensions there.Bob,
I was doing a little research on Yuri's package and ran across your posts on this thread. I've looked at the 'aliexpress' website and noticed they have several models of DRO systems. I'm curious why you and your friends chose the SNS model. I'm ready to get a system for a 13 x 40 lathe, so I would only need the '2V' instead of the '3V', but I wonder if you could add any comments on the various models based on your research.
Also, I gather from your posts that you communicated (verbally or by e-mail) with Wilson, their contact person. I see his name at the bottom of the FAQ section, but nothing on how to contact him. Can you provide any specific contact info?
Thanks for any help you can provide. This looks like a very nice package.
Regards,
Terry
