Ditron offers quite a few different DRO's, more recently they can be purchased with magnetic scales for not much more than glass scales. There new D80 display is a graphical interface which is a bit more adaptable to different types of machines. The pricing for a DRO with magnetic scales use to start at over 1K, the D80 lathe package with 2 magnetic scales is $600, the D80 mill package with 3 magnetic scales is $700. The same 3 axis with glass scales is $650, so magnetic scales would be the way to go. There are vendors in the US, UK and of course China, you may $ with the latter two.
I use an Easson 12B on my lathe with two glass and one magnetic scales, it is a great display which is now available with all magnetic scale packages. Magnetic scales are easier to install and more forgiving on alignment. Had these full magnetic DRO packages for the ES-12B been available I would have gone with one of these packages. The lathe package is $585, the mill package is $715.
