Help to CNC a Clausing Mill

Dear group,
I am trying to get together enough background information to make a
decision on a CNC retrofit for my Clausing Mill. Ideally, I would
like to do just a DRO system first, and add the CNC capability later
on. This machine is about half the size of a Bridgeport and weighs
about 5 to 6 hundred pounds. The table is about 30 inches long and 6
inches wide. travel is about 6 by 12 inches and it has a conventional
knee like a Bridgeport. The leadscrews are in inches and graduated in
thousandths. one full turn is .1 inches. Do any of the DRO "heads"
have an output for use with a CNC system? Also, I might someday want
to move the CNC system onto a full sized Bridgeport later on.

Thanks in advance for your generous help!
