83- mTech DRO-2L on Birmingham model 1440 from Hamilton/ITS (USA)

Thanks a lot to Michael from Hamilton/ITS (www.hamiltonits.com) for the excellent installation and the photo taking.

The lathe is a Birmingham model 1440. 14 inch swing, 40 inch travel.

mTECH DRO offer professional features with an affordable price. Michael says "We are very pleased with the system. It is easy to use and has a lot of features."


Here shows the mTECH DRO-2L in action.

The X axis mounting and the cable neatly clipped.
This is the professional way of doing. Excellent job !!


A direct view of the X scale installation.



The Z axis installation. I also personally like the use of the block to elevate the scale.
This will let the metal chips fell through and coolant to slip through.


Michael on why he didn't use the cover "I mounted the Z spar on the backside of the lathe and didn’t use the cover – simply as we don’t use the lathe for production work."


Conclusion is EXCELLENT JOB!!
