Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Source for linear encoders?

In response to the person looking for cheap linear encoders, US
digital sells linear strip at $2/inch ($14 minimum) which works with
$30 or so HP reader heads. The resolution is 360 cycles per inch,
which works out to 1440 counts/inch.

That does meet your goal of 'better than 1000', but it's not better by
a nice round number. Still for many hobby applications it is far better
than nothing.
