I know there's all kinds of DROs available nowadays, some as high as $800 Canadian ($500 US if I'm lucky) but I'm not heavily into machining and don't think I'll ever machine intricate parts with my little mill so a basic tried and true dro kit should do the trick ,I think.
The lowest /most basic dro that I've found is Igaging ,I noticed a lot of mini mill owners (on youtube) seem to like this model but the description of this model says : it's ideal for Router lift, Router table, Planer, & Table Saw, does not say anything like it could also be used for lathe/mill , so did all these people who are using them every day,settle for something that is "just good enough" though less accurate than it should be for milling?
I also noticed Igaging has the new and improved EZ view DRO ,which seems to be the same old model with the same level of accuracy but a couple of more features.
If any of you good people of HM owns either of these models, what's your experience? should I fork out more money and get the more fancy 3 axis DRO ? to be honest,they seem a bit better suited but a lot bulkier .
What do you think?
