Mike Perry — Hardware researcher since 2014. For projectors, gaming displays and video upscalers, synthesises manufacturer specs against measured reviews (ProjectorCentral, RTINGS), treating non-ANSI "lumen" figures as marketing claims rather than first-hand lab testing. Core beat: GPU performance across gaming, rendering, and local-LLM inference. How we check display specs →

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 5um glass grating scales for milling, drilling, grinding, boring and lathe readouts
  • ✓ Travel length built to order in 50mm steps, from 50mm up to 1000mm
  • ✓ Complete kit: 3-axis display, 3 linear scales, covers, L-brackets and screw bag
  • ✓ English installation manual ships with the kit, no third-party translation needed

Cons

  • ✗ You must message the seller with travel and machine dimensions after checkout
  • ✗ Total length equals travel plus 140mm, so tight machine envelopes may not clear
  • ✗ Display and scales ship as two separate parcels that can arrive days apart
  • ✗ Scale travel only comes in 50mm increments, so no exact fit between steps
