Frequently asked questions

A Digital Readout (DRO) system provides real-time, on-screen position feedback for milling machines and other manual tools. It tracks movement along the X, Y, and Z axes with high precision, helping you reduce errors, improve accuracy, and work more efficiently.

DROs eliminate guesswork and manual measurements, making them a must-have upgrade for any shop focused on quality and productivity.

By continuously displaying the true location of all axes, a DRO makes manual machine tools more efficient and improves workpiece quality. DROs also make life easier for operators by reducing the number of manual calculations and the reliance on tiresome hand wheel adjustments.

The right DRO will depend on the type of machine/s, its application and the number of axes. Whether or not you need preset or part-program-storage capabilities is also a determining factor. Our DRO Selector Tool is one of the best ways to narrow down your search quickly.
