Geez...

Where the heck are auctions like that??

This one was six miles from my house. The machinery dealers have more
machines they can warehouse right now, so they're not even bothering with
the less marketable stuff.

I just had a silly idea... If I made a bracket to hold my cheap

do is set the 0 and I'd have about 6" of measured travel. Maybe a
movable stop on one end so that range could be set to wherever I was
working... maybe a magnetic base.

has anyone tried this or is there a problem with the idea I can't
see yet?

A guy at the auction yesterday bought a milling machine with a three
axis DRO for $140, took the DRO off and sold the machine for $50.
