Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Samuel G. ★★★★★

Had to drill that matching hole in the feed screw myself, but the gear alignment was straightforward and the dial moves smoothly now. Much easier to read than the digital display, and it feels more solid.

Steven ★★★★★

Swapped the DRO for this dial conversion and the cross slide finally feels like a proper manual machine again—the gear alignment hole was easy to drill with the included template, and everything bolts up solid. Took about an hour total, and now I can feel the cuts instead of staring at a screen.

Violet ★★★★★

The match-drilling step was straightforward with the included template, and the gear engagement feels precise once everything is aligned. The dial reads clearly, making manual adjustments much quicker than fiddling with the DRO. Solid upgrade for the cross slide.
