ACU-RITE DRO102 2-Axis Knee Mill DRO Package
The complete digital readout package for your knee mill. This package replaces the dials on your milling machine with the ACU-RITE DRO102 readout and its 7-inch color display, showing both axes at once so you can position accurately without counting dial revolutions.

Which machines it fits
Knee mills and similar 2-axis milling machines (Bridgeport-type mills). One scale mounts along the X axis (table travel, left-right) and one along the Y axis (saddle travel, in-out). Choose the kit size that matches your table size and travel; scale lengths are matched to your machine at order.

How to measure your machine for scales
Move the axis fully in one direction, mark the table or saddle, then move it fully the other way. Measure between the marks - that distance is your travel.
On a knee mill, X is the table travel left-to-right and Y is the saddle travel in-and-out. Measure both axes.
Choose the kit whose scale travel is the same as or longer than your measured travel. We match scale lengths to your machine at order.
Allow about 3.5 inches beyond the travel for the scale body (SENC 150 adds a 1.75 inch overrun at each end), plus clearance for the reading head and cable.
Scales 24 inches and longer mount with a mid-point support; 66 inches and longer include a back-up spar. Not sure? Send us your machine model and table size and we will match the kit - 1-888-354-2525.
