Obsolete Acu-Rite Millpwr 2 Control & Scales

Replaced With New Acu-Rite G2 Control With 0.001mm Resolution Scales

EEC carry out work to upgrade obsolete machine tools. In this case, we removed an old obsolete Acu-Rite Millpwr 2 control with scales, and replaced it with the new Acu-Rite G2 control with 0.001mm resolution scales.
