Hi

Check out the website for arc euro trade http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/ (usual disclaimer) I bought my scales and remote read outs from them. From memory the the remote read outs are £30.00.

The readouts fitted to my x1 mill

The same readouts fitted on my x3 mill

Thanks for the photos. I definitely need to get that setup on my mill. I was looking at a this digital readout display on Ebay

Any ideas if this would work with the inexpensive digital calipers sold at Harbor Freight?

Hi

It should work ok. I would get the correct length scales and fit them right from the start. Since fitting mine I haven't had to touch them. I covered the scale with a piece of plastic just held in place with blue tak. Helps to keep the swarf out. The scales are not all that expensive so it's worth considering.

Cheers
