Your tutorial taught me how to do a bolt circle and my first time, it came out PERFECT. So yes, your video helped me out in a really big way. Just wanted to say thank you for this!

Thanks for the informative video, enjoyed it, recently got myself a SDS6-2V for my lathe .Steve

Thanks mate. Just bought a Sino 2 axis DRO for my lathe and after reading a bit of stuff on the net about them and reading the poorly translated manual I am quite nervous as to my purchase so it has been a relief to see one actually working and to hear that you are finding it to be ok.

Thanks. The video answered a couple of questions for me.

thx bro... i just purchased one... lookin how to use it now... and ur the first shop i stopped..... thx

Thanks for the great info, and the calendar is very nice also :-)

Sds2ms operation dai getting sarfesh

Thanks for sharing. In matters of trig and geometry when considering a circle, sine waves etc., the zero or starting position is always the right hand position on the x-axis. Top = 90 degrees, left hand x-axis = 180. etc.

I've just made the "touchdro" system and fitted it. Fantastic. Variable cost, but starting at about $100 look it up. You chose the scale type (main cost) and then build a piss easy box of tricks to Bluetooth to a spare tablet.

Thanks for the info , very usefull .I see that the open side of your z axis lineal is facing towards the mill....chips could get between the reader head and the glasslineal after some use. Normally this glasslineal is mounted with the protecting cover facing the milling side and by using a bracket that reaches over the glasslineal the reader head gets mounted at the backside.

GREAT VIDIO VERY HELPFULL

Just bought a heller ftv-3 with sds2... never used it before., but seems ...lol..seems a breeze to use...Nice vid , ..do more..

Great vid

Sorry if this has already been answered, because I didn't look through each and every comment that has been posted... But it's using zero degrees at the 3 O'Clock position, because that's where zero degrees is on an X-Y Cartesian coordinate graph--it's on the positive X-axis. Then 90-degrees is at the 12 O'Clock position (positive Y-axis), 180-degrees is at the 9 O'Clock position (negative X-axis), and 270-degrees is down at 6 O'Clock (negative Y-axis). This is very important if you're going to use the trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent, etc) and want the angles to be represented with the correct signs (positive vs negative).

I just received a DRO for my mill that looks Identical to your sino dro, the scales came with a plastic red piece between the scale and the reader do you know if that stays on or is removed before or after the install of the scales. thanks ED

Hi there. As I can go into sleep mode to change the settings you sign counting direction. Thank you

did you remove the red keepers on the sensor after it was installed? Just got my sino dro installed and really can,t tell by the installation book if they should be removed

Thanks for sharing, I have been debating on installing a dro on my mill and lathe. There seem to be a lot of options. I am afraid of china made, cant budget American, or japanese. Any suggestions?

the other thing I have not been able to do is to do a calculation and enter that result in the X of Y of the dro. for now I just write it down and can added. says it has to be in some MODE to function like that, but I can't figure it out. not the most important feature.

Hello, do you know how to drill holes in the mill using digital for example 8 holes or 7 and with initial angle of 112.5 degrees, and the end how do I have to put? Or then divide 7 holes but with initial angle of example 57 degrees and the end? I did not find the logic for the data in the digital display, in my case my and the bell but the manual is not helping.

Bud can I ask you please where you picked up the collet holder under your DRO please being trying to find something like that for ages

It used to come with the DRO....lately they only add the mounting bracket in the box :(

Thanks for this video. Like to see more on the SINO DRO I' m looking at purchasing a 2 axis on eBay for my Bridgeport 9X42. How did you learn all this? Did you receive an english manual or find a pdf or just figure it out yourself?

I have set up holes with 0 starting degrees and 360 ending degrees and all is well. BUT I can not seem to start a hole Straight up the Y axis 90* degrees. I have tried everything I can imagine as an ending degree point and do not get 3 evenly spaced holes. any suggestions

+Ed Ginsberg hi ed I am sure you have sorted your problems out by now but if it's any help I got my dro a few days ago and been trying to figure it out here is what I found. Looking down on your table imagine a clock face, now on my dro if I set the starting angle as 0 this point is 3 oclock so if you want to start at 12 0clock you need to work out the degrees from 0 in my case this would be 270. and end angle would be the last hole of 5 which is a multiple of 72 degrees. Hope that helps?? cheers
