Ah Ha! someone that manufactures a DRO with common sense pricing! I would make a wild guess that if you really looked hard ant
the Mititoyo and other 'popular' commercial DRO's you would find that the components are very similar to your unit. I would
definately consider paying $695 for a 3 axis DRO but NOT $1895 for the same functionality. After all this is supposed to be a
hobby.
