So I have just tried using my mill for the first time laying out a bolt pattern. The .0625" graduations on the knobs are beyond frustrating when calculating complicated x/y movements for a bolt circle.
For those with experience with these machines: Would you buy the $59 lead screw kit from LMS OR a pair of cheap iGaging DRO's first? I assume the cheap DRO's would cancel out the knobs entirely... but i`m not attached to either idea. Its frustrating enough that i`m going to order this stuff by tomorrow... either way.
