Solid and accurate DRO, really nice upgrade on my old lathe
Installed this on my 1976 Leblond 15-30. Had to make and alter a couple of brackets and guard mounts as the casting of the cross slide did not have a square edge, but instead a rounded area under the compound mount. The scale mounts were so adjustable, it made that part easy to knock out. Once it was done, I am still really glad I went the little extra for this system vs a cheaper unit. Accuracy and repeatability are everything. I have had an NMS 300 on my mill as well going on 2 yrs now without the first problem. I've seen some of the cheaper asian units out there and for no more of a difference in price, it simply isn't worth it to settle for less. This really takes a bite out of the time required to turn out finished parts on this old manual lathe. I just wish I had done this sooner.
