You're right. I didn't think this was going to be suitable for CNC
control feedback, but it would make a dandy DRO ;) ! I was really broke
a few years ago (much like I am now :( ), and I sold the Accurite DRO
off my Bridgeport. I haven't done any machining in a long time, but I
know I'm going to want a DRO when I get around to it...
