Tanks - mind was fuzzy.

The Mill was a big one and a 14" electronic caliper was used.
It was cool and did the job. Just no oil on it to look old!

I've seen precision calipers used in the verticle axis on a mill and drill presses.

Anyone using DRO's (calipers) on their lathe or mill?

Like the ones from
http://www.littlemachineshop.com/pro...=3091&category

If so where you get it from and what was the cost?

What's the quality like?

Based on the above link is the DRO and the digital display units good value
for money?

Or is there a better or cheaper way?

thanks
