Well, unless Newall now supplies it’s scales dehydrated, just add water and watch it grow, this isn’t very useful, is it ?

You may have to restrict the Z travel slightly with some hard stops.Well, unless Newall now supplies it’s scales dehydrated, just add water and watch it grow, this isn’t very useful, is it ?

Ah well then you do not have a problem, the carriage can travel as far as it wants and you won't damage the scale

I got a reply to my chaser email on Monday, saying they had my scales and were sending out Monday-Tuesday, and I'd get a tracking email to confirm.
It's Wednesday and nothing yet, but I wasn't holding my breath anyway....

Impromptu milling machine to get a flat surface to mount the encoder

Well it did arrive on a pre 930 delivery... just two days later than the first parcel. How a company like Newall can use the cheapest courier out there, especially seeing that they aren’t shy to charge, beggars belief. Judging by all the redirect stickers on the box, the scale has probably seen more of the U.K. than I have....

That DRO is nice but it doesn’t look solid like the old ones, it almost looks a bit chinsy. Where is it made.

What is this, the Hate on Newall thread?
Of course it's cheaper made than the old ones, it's cheaper to buy... Have you seen the price of a DP series readout? Double the price of a NMS.
It feels well made anyway. Between that and the encoders, it's a step up from the cheaper magnetic strip ones. Yes it will do the same job, but slightly more foolproof... In theory...

I was almost buying one of the other DROs that M-DRO sell. I liked the look of the Eason ones but they didn't list scales long enough although I imagine they could have been had. What pushed me towards the Newall was the scales themselves, they just seem to be a better system and the ease of fitting is a big selling point compared to glass scales. Since having the DRO I have no regrets, the tool store is great and very easy to set up and adjust if required and the DRO itself is quite intuitive and works well.

I'm planning on going with the Easson on my mill. The diagramatic display looks a useful option.
Although it's a work machine it's not one that's ever going to earn much, more for maintenance department as it were. So the Newall is just a price step to far.

Selling point for me was the scales. Can upgrade the display at a later date if it doesn’t prove reliable
