Scale Bracket, DRO Cross-slide - Main image
$3.47 $4.95 In stock

DRO scale bracket to improve rigidity on the HiTorque large bench lathe and SIEG SC4 bench lathes with DRO.

This bracket holds the DRO scale at the proper distance from the cross slide to ensure alignment with the read head. It prevents read head movement as tension is applied to the read head cable as the carriage is moved.

Customer Reviews (4.2 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Sofia ★★★★★

Bolted this on and the cross-slide DRO finally stopped wandering during heavier cuts. The bracket's rigidity is exactly what the lathe needed, and the alignment slots made setup straightforward.

Sebastian J. ★★★★★

Finally, my DRO readings are rock-solid instead of jumping around. This bracket aligns the scale perfectly with the cross-slide, cutting out all the annoying flex I was getting before.

Ava ★★★★☆

I was worried about flex in my DRO setup, but once I bolted this bracket on, the cross-slide readings became noticeably steadier. It keeps the scale at the right distance without any fuss. Only wish the hardware kit included a couple extra washers.
