DRO Scale, 6" (150 mm) With Display - Main image
$50.36 $69.95 In stock

Six inch (150 mm) DRO scale with display and mounting bracket.

This iGaging DRO unit is significantly more robust than other inexpensive scales that are available. There are no batteries in the scale units, and the scale units are permanently wired. No square rubber plugs to cause issues. The unit has a moisture and dust resistance rating of IP54.

The plug into the display unit is a micro USB plug (though not wired as USB), so it's pretty robust. And each display has a strain relief to prevent stress on the plug. Scale is made of hardened stainless steel for high accuracy and repeatability.

Functions include display in inch/metric/fractions, hold button, origin button, absolute/incremental setting and a preset function.

Displays are equipped with magnets to allow easy attachment to steel surfaces. The articulating arm allows stacking of multiple displays (see Chris' Tips). Kit includes 2 different types of mounting brackets for flexibility of installation.

Each display unit contains two CR2032 lithium batteries for long life. For an AC power supply, see P/N 1177 in related products.

Olivia T. ★★★★★

I was a bit skeptical about digital scales for measuring, but the clear display on this one makes it so easy to read that I've started using it for all my small workshop projects. The 6-inch length is perfect for quick checks, and it doesn't feel flimsy like some others I've tried.

Ava G. ★★★★★

The mounting bracket feels rock solid compared to the flimsy ones I’ve used before, and the display is crisp and responsive. Setup took me under ten minutes and it’s been dead accurate on my mill ever since.

David ★★★★★

The display is easy to read even in dim shop lighting, and the mounting bracket feels solid once tightened down. It’s noticeably sturdier than the flimsy digital calipers I’ve used before, so I trust it to hold zero on my mill.
