Rotating tool bits? That's a new one on me at the moment. I can see the sense behind it but I've not seen one that can actually do that available to the hobbyist. My CNC lathe cuts spheres and tapers

Re: Poor Man's Digital Read Out
A mouse is not really a good way to do DRO, as the computer can miss a count and not bat an eye. Here's a better solution (but more expensive): http://www.lindsayengraving.com/other_interests/dro.html
