Ok.
I'm sure this must have been hashed over before. I've read some reviews/ratings where people are finding some China manufactured DROs to actually be decent quality and reliable, but I figure this crowd is more informed and harder to impress than the reviews on Amazon and eBay.
Anybody have one of these or similar:
2 Axis Digital Readout Dro for Milling Lathe Machine with Precision Linear Scale by Taishi: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific
They come with 5 micron scales, but they claim for a $20 upcharge, you will get 1 micron or 0.5 micron scales... Really?!?? Are they actually accurate?
Are there USA made DROs? I'm definitely willing to pay more for accuracy/quality/reliability.
Recommendations for reasonably priced lathe DROs that provide 0.0002" or better resolution?
