First DRO goes on the mill and spend more here.
You get what you pay for and do not get what yiu do not pay for...
We picked up older BP that came with a prospector (not sure on name and too lazy to fetch it now) unit
It allows for doing circles or lines of "points" of any angle or diameter from any point.
So far never used that function as have not needed it, we just moved manually via the readout but for doing a bolt pattern on a circle you enter a little data and zero it on first hole and it assists in the rest.
For backlash ALWAYS return PAST the first point and start from the same end.
Return to where you started and before you do first action if doing more than one in a row move away about 1 turn of the wheel then come into the spot and only turn one way until finished.
If you go too far while moving then come back past the target the same...A turn past then come back slower and sneak up on your target.
This added movement is more work but a habits learned from a radial arm saw DRO use...Always push to the lock to right or left to keep consistent take up of slop.
