The mag strip versions are much less sensitive to mounting and alignment issues. With the Felder machines already having extrusions that accept the magnetic strips, it would be smart to go that way. If it wasn¡¯t so easy to use the Fiama units on the rip fence, we would offer the kit¡ but it¡¯s a simple L-bracket and easily done by the user.
Yes the wixey and accurate tech use an encoder strip that have a printed circuit on them where as the Fiama and the like use a mag strip, I believe the mag strip provides better resolution and real time changes and is also a little better with dirt/contamination not bothering it, either type is good enough for woodworking in my opinion.?
I am no expert on any of this and I bet Brian L and or David B have some pretty good opinions, for me I want it clean and unclunky (and to work ?) so the mag strip type is the way to go

Thanks Bill. I have digital angle cube thingy from Wixey for cannot recall how many yrs and have not changed batteries.
Remember reading about batt drain on some similar DRO maybe it was accurate but likely model have improved over the yrs.

Imran,
I¡¯ve had many Wixey read outs and quite sure the batteries last at least a year or two. Certainly nothing like the cheap digital calipers that require batteries every 2 months...
Bill Belanger?

Mark,
¡°Also if you do do a non mag strip unit like the wixy¡°
By this you mean that it does not work with a mag strip that one could install in OEM fence, correct? Because, it does work with a mag strip. Just curious, wanted to make sure I sm not missing something.
I remember reading issues with battery draining often. Not sure if that was wixey or accurate?
