I don't have a DRO on my mini-mill either. I use an ARO (analog read out), specifically a dial indicator. It's way quicker and easier than using the dials and you don't have to worry about figuring backlash. I see that you are in South Africa and are using the metric system. A quick ebay search turned up this from China:

With a proper stand it can be used on any axis of your lathe or mill.
Of course I have no affiliation with this seller, have no idea about them.
