As the title suggests, I have a Sherline 5400 mill which I'm mostly happy with except for size limitations and the lack of a DRO.
I can add the factory DRO for about $400. Or, I could attach an iGaging DRO for a lot less $$$ along with a lot of customizing. The iGaging DRO looks a little challenging to attach on such a small mill. Has this been done?
Then there's the third option of selling the Sherline 5400 and buying a bigger mill with built-in DRO, such as the LMS 5550, PM-25MV, or a Grizzly. The thing keeping me back from going bigger is the lack of space and the idea of moving a much larger machine weighing 250+ lbs!
Thought? Comments? Advice?
