Dro Mounting Panel for the Readouts Mini Mill

[C-Bag]

Thanks so much for all the info JR, Paul and PJ. I've been pondering this DRO jump for a while. I put a igaging on my Z axis and it has made a world of difference. I've been going back and forth about igaging and their next level up "Absolute" version which seems better, but more expensive. Expensive enough to start pushing me into thermal runaway and doing the full size Chinese X/Y setups. They usually start around $300 and go up from there. On another run through eBay I spotted this:

Now I'm really in a quandary. Folks seem to like these and for around $200 it's hard to beat ...but I don't know enough about the specs to be able to see through the hype and my buyers fever has started settin' in.

I don't mean to hyjack your thread here JR, but you guys see any red flags here I'm missing before I take a jump in the deep end? I have an old RF-30 that needs some fine tuning, but if this can do for my X and Y what the igaging did for my z and add more functions it might be the next logical improvement.

humbly,
