Hello All

Been awhile since I've been here.  Anybody using the ShumaTech DRO kits,
and if so with what scales?  I have an Enco branded Sargon unit on my
mill with one dead scale and I'd also like to add another on the knee
but Sargon, alas, is out of business.  While searching around the net I
came across the ShumaTech unit, what got my interest is it has a tach
input and can thus readout SFM.

Regards
Paul

Lots of ideas on this fine jewel.
I have been running one for several years with the inexpensive chinese
scales.  More accurat devices are availible.

Re: ShumaTech DRO's

Paul,

I have Jenix scales that will work with your Sargon display. I make a
adapter to interface the scale with the display.

Send me a e-mail if you are interested. LMSC@pacbell.net

Re: ShumaTech DRO's

Paul,

I'd give Tim a shot. I had a similar problem with my Enco/Sargon unit.
The Jenix scale he sent me worked like a charm and he supplied me with
some very  valuable tech support when I got in trouble. I am a very
satisfied customer.

Re: ShumaTech DRO's

I built a mill ShumaTech Dro 2 yrs. ago with HF scales and it works
great. The tach is very simple to make. My total cost with scales was
$225.00.

Not having one. But I know they use both the "cheap Chines scales" and glass
scales (even mixed). Jennix scales are very common for the Shumatech users.
For the glass scales, you need an adapter (QCC-100).

HTH,
Nick
