Hi all.
I am struggling to source compatible scales, I need a 200 / 300mm unit (200 will work but is slightly restrictive) and a 500mm unit.
I have bought a set of Shahe scales from AliExpress before reading about their incompatibility with DIY Arduino controllers, so I will just use this set on my lathe as standalone readouts.
I have re-ordered a 300mm scale from eBay where the photograph shows the older style black screen, hinting this is a no-brand iGaging type scale, however upon arrival it turned out to be the same Shahe type that I had already ordered, so this is being sent back.
Does anyone have a reliable source of the iGaging type scales in the UK? I've sent some messages to sellers on eBay & AliExpress but have heard nothing back yet.
Thanks all!
