Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Victoria ★★★★★

The hinge alignment was spot-on, so the cover closed flush with the lathe bed on the first try. That rubber mat really holds the DRO readout steady, even with vibration.

Claire R. ★★★★★

The rubber mat sits perfectly inside and gives my DRO a stable, non-slip platform during heavy cuts. I was glad it matched the existing holes on my 8.5x20 lathe without any drilling or filing.

James P. ★★★★★

The fit on my lathe is snug and precise, and the rubber mat stays put under the DRO Bluetooth unit without sliding around during cuts. Took maybe five minutes to swap out the old cover, and it feels much more solid than I expected.
