I bought this DRO on aliexpressvwith the intention of fitting it to my lathe. Changed my mind and I'm now fitting it to my mill. I have the X axis fitted and a bracket made for the readout, tomorrow I'll mount the readout and look at fitting the Y feed axis.
It's actually for woodworking as it's magnetic. But it was cheap, so I bought it and fitted the magnetic strip inside an aluminium U section chanel. It works well. If the swarf does prove a problem - it was cheap!
I'll post some pics once I've fitted the Y axis sensor.
