This magnetic technology digital readout package fits HiTorque bench mills and SIEG X2.7, SX2.7 Bench Mills.

This package includes what you need to put a DRO on most mini/bench mills. It includes a three scales, three read heads, 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 mill.

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.
