Re: US Digital linear strips

The standard table travel for a 9x42 bridgeport is 30 inches.
The 48 inch table travel is 36 inches. Knee mills larger aren't as
common. 1 meter strip should cover 95% of all knee mills.
How much are you guys spending on the linear strip DRO?
Mitutoyo has complete 2 axis mill DRO's for 830 bucks complete.
