Re: Are DROs worth the money/trouble

 

Interesting approach there.

Also like how you did the tailstock DRO with the slot in the housing. Had a similar idea but just slotting the front so it would retract sufficiently to eject the taper but the rod is a little bit thin there to drill & tap.

I forgot some like a screw type DRO on just the cross-slide. Some will read on diameter making life easier for beginners and most mini lathes read on the radius.
So each mark reads 0.001 [0.025mm]. But on diameter you are removing off the diameter 0.002" [0.050mm]
