Harbor freight 8x12 lathe (cheap digital calipers)
|
Druid Noibn
Hi John,
Just two-more-cents-worth... One might take a quick look on some of the eBay offerings. For example, a vendor "800WATT" sells the calipers item at good prices - watch the s/h charges however. Also, this vendor has a low score due to his poor communications style and often a bit long on delivery time. I've purchased several items from him and all worked out well. I've also purchased a larger caliper from Australia and it arrived faster than the items from the US vendors.

Thanks,
Some of 800WATT's listings look pretty good - except he lists as US only. :-( Maybe I'll politely ask.

be very careful dealing with 800watt, I never got my items and he would never answer my emails . Some people have been able to deal with him but many got stuck. good luck, john

You raise a good point - I read his feedback comments. 800WATT is sometimes slow on shipment and most now expect rapid delivery unless otherwise notified. My suspicion is that he sells items in anticipation of receiving a shipment and/or places orders after selling. Not on everything, but there is a delivery issue here. My experience (about 18 months and many items) is 100% success - sometimes it took 4-5 weeks but the goods arrived and were as described. As for communications - well, 800WATT scores a Strong Negative on this point and it is likely the reason for the poor ratings. He also was very reluctant to leave postive scores, i.e., he only responded to negative ones. He seems to have changed his approach of late but it will take a very long time to improve the rankings! So, I will continue to buy from 800WATT e.g. I just bought 2x 6" digital calipers, but I am aware of his foibles. Hmmm...maybe he worked for Harbor Freight at one time?

Hi,
Firstly, I should report back on the original topic. I followed up 800watt on eBay and ordered several calipers from him. Yes, he will ship international on request. As people here said, his communication is pretty terse and speed is not his forte. The parcel took 18 days to get to me in Australia. But arrive it did and the calipers are fine. All 3 managed to turn themselves on in transit as their hard cases allow enough movement to touch the buttons on the protective foam - a nick with the penknife will fix that. They arrived with displays flashing indicating low batteries. However, each was packed with a spare battery and he threw in a bonus strip of 5 extra batteries. Now, who knows how to interface to the data port on these things? They seem to take some sort of miniature 4-pin plug. What are they called - anyone got a part number? Anyone know the pinout and data format?

Hi David,
Thanks for that link. That saves me having to reverse engineer the data format off the scope. A source of connectors would be nice. Maybe I need to buy spare parts from a DRO maker. Interestingly, I have calipers with two different connector geometries. Both have the 4 gold-flashed PCB fingers but the surrounding plastic differs. One is as shown at your link. The other is more enclosed and clearly needs a differently housed plug. That's what I love about standards - there's always such variety to choose from!

Hi John,
I also bought the calipers from 8oowatt but the cheapskate didn't give me all the extra batteries <smile>. In truth, I haven't had a problem with 800watt. The installed batteries routinely fail - hence the added battey - cheap insurance. As for the cable - you can get it at LMS - I believe it is item #1990 Some solder the wires in. Also, look at replacing the battery with a small tantalum electrolytic cap. and a ceramic cap. when using the scales with a DRO-350. The DRO supplies the power and the capacitors filter the noise. You could use the battery but it will need to be replaced every so often. Take care, DBN born4something <ajs@...> wrote: Hi, Firstly, I should report back on the original topic.

Hi Druid,
I guess that means you have the same calipers as I got. Have you used them with the LMS cable? Vikki pointed out that cable to me but I wasn't really sure about it from the LMS pic so I was going to ask more details. I bought the 6" calipers (came in a red plastic box). Mine aren't for DRO on the lathe so I need to cobble my own interface electronics and software together.

Hi John,
The cables will be order later today - so I can't give you a confirmation on this. However, I have little doubt. The plan is to use the cables for testing and solder the wires when I finalize the the project. There are a few good write-ups on the "Chinese scales" so you shouldn¡¯t have too much of a problem working with them save for the quirks some of the scales are said to have. You might wish to consider getting some of the QCC-100 interface modules (Chinese scale to quadrature) if you are working with the more common electronics. See for links. Let all know how the project progresses. Take care, DBN born4something <ajs@...> wrote: Hi Druid, I guess that means you have the same calipers as I got. Have you used them with the LMS cable?
