| The mini-lathe is currently equipped with a Digital Readout scale on the longitudinal (Z) axis. This makes it significantly easier to turn to a precise length, such as to a shoulder. An X-Axis readout is in the works (which will facilitate turning to precise diameters), as well as a readout for the tailstock quill (for drilling to precise depths). | The mini-lathe is currently equipped with a Digital Readout scale on the longitudinal (Z) axis.

| The scale is connected to an adapter board which connects to a phone or tablet via Bluetooth, and uses an app called TouchDRO as the readout display. The app is only available for Android devices, and is available for free via the Google Play Store or Amazon App Store. | The scale is connected to an adapter board which connects to a phone or tablet via Bluetooth, and uses an app called TouchDRO as the readout display.
