If you read my first thread and introduction, I just got a 'new' manual mill.

I really don't intend to CNC it, but I would like to have a DRO on it.
Some DRO packages cost much more than I paid for the entire mill and many others are about the same cost.

My question is, is there an affordable DRO package out there that is inexpensive, but not 'cheap'

I was looking at the 2-axis package by Shooting Star called the BT-2. The company is out of Canada. It is 599.00, which is about as much as I will want to spend.

I'm not buinding swiss wathces here, so if it is good to a thou, or 5 tenths, that's good enough for me.
