I am new to the group and would like to know if anyone has experience with drokits.com?
It appears they have good prices but lacks support.
Any feedback?

I bought a lathe dro kit from them and mounted it on my Atlas 3950 (6x18) lathe. Works like its supposed to you can see the readout in this picture of me wheeling my new PM1236 into the garage.

I also have used them for a three axis DRO for my mill. They were good to work with as I wanted a mix of regular and slim-line scales.

I got one for my lathe. High quality product and support. I had a question and was able to get an email reply quickly and solve it.

Hey I know nothing about drokits.com but I just purchased and installed a 3 axis magnetic scale kit from dropros.com and I love it I got their EL400 display this thing is amazing. Was a bit pricey but I feel it was worth it the dro is worth more than my mill a harbor freight 44991
