Received the DRO via FedEx late this afternoon. Great shipping/delivery time since I only ordered it two days ago. Everything seemed to be well packaged. Got the 3 slides (each one came with its' own bag of hardware and cover), display unit (with collet rack and mounting bracket), aluminum angle brackets, aluminum flat bars, installation instructions with text and pictures and an instruction manual for using the display unit.
One thing that will probably end up delaying installation is the fact that it comes with metric hardware. The only metric taps I have is a carbon steel set and if I decide to use the included hardware I will be ordering some HSS taps (I could use some anyways so I'll have them on hand). Or if I go with inch hardware I'll most likely have to order that because I highly doubt I have enough on hand of the correct sizes. I would stick with socket head cap screws although I might temporarily use slotted head which I do have on hand so I can start work and replace them after receipt. I'll see how I feel after reading the paperwork.
Right now I'm just going to start reading the documentation and decide how I'm going to go about things.
