I have a Myford Super Seven Lathe with a vertical slide and would like to add a digital read out to all three axis. Does anybody out there have experience with this?

This is a link to the bandsaw conversion I did about 10 years ago. I added a jackshft. It works great for steel, I don't use it for wood.

Hello Brian,

I was very interested to read about the band saw conversion which I would like to tackle one day but my immediate concern is to get a DRO attached to my Myford Suprer Seven. I am new to this forum and have I got my wires crossed??

Maybe not the cheapest, and a UK supplier, but you can get some ideas from

I may have been confused (it has happened before). this thread has a big section about adding DRO's to my lathe.---Brian
