This magnetic technology digital readout package fits LittleMachineShop.com 3536, 3540, and 7500 bench lathes as well as SIEG C4 and SC4 lathes.

This package includes what you need to put a DRO on most any bench lathe. It includes a two scales, two read heads, and a Bluetooth transceiver and all the mounting brackets and hardware.

You must also get an Android tablet for the display on this DRO. We recommend a 7" screen size, and the tablet must have Bluetooth capability.

Chris Chris' Tips
Here are instructions for mounting the DRO on a bench lathe.

While we sell an Android Tablet with the DRO software installed, you can use most any Android tablet that supports Bluetooth with the Bluetooth DROs that we sell. 

Here's how to get going:

  1. On your Android tablet, go to Bluetooth Settings and Pair the DRO to your tablet. The name of the DRO is HC-06 or BT04-E. The PIN is 1234.
  2. Go to the Google Play Store and install Yuriy's Toys TouchDRO.
  3. When you launch TouchDRO and tap Connect in the upper right corner.
