Well, I ordered a PM-1340GT lathe today and am still trying to decide on which way I am going to go on a DRO. I talked to Matt and he suggested the Easson ES-8A that he can sell as a kit or installed. I also am looking at the DRO PROS EL400 DRO which uses magnetic scales and is lathe specific. It's a little more money but I like the magnetic scales and the display screen on the EL400.
So a question for the owners of the PM-1340GT, what DRO did you go with and why did you choose that model? Any other brands out there to consider? I want to firm up this decision over the weekend so I can finalize my order on Monday.
Lathe specifics are, 3 phase motor with Hitachi VFD and preferred package. I will use the QCTP from my current lathe (Phase II) for the time being.
