Looks like that readout might tip the machine over.

A good DRO is more than a position readout. It will provide functions like finding the center of a part, bolt circles, absolute/incremental measuring, linear arrays, tool offsets and lots of other stuff.
Without those functions, it's almost as easy to count turns on the dial.
