Olivia ★★★★★

Finally, the compound rest screw on my lathe doesn’t wobble anymore—this retainer holds it firmly in place, which makes using the DRO much more reliable. Installation was straightforward, and the machining is precise enough that it seated without any fuss.

Jacob ★★★★★

Fit the compound rest screw perfectly on the DRO-equipped lathe, and the machining is precise enough that there’s zero slop once tightened. Took maybe five minutes to swap out, and now the readout stays rock-solid during cuts. Exactly what I needed to stop that annoying drift.

Eli ★★★★★

Installed this retainer on my SC4 and the DRO clearance is spot on — no more struggling to keep the compound rest screw in place during operation.
