Digital readouts for metalworking lathe

on 2007-09-11 11:50:50 UTC

We just recently purchased a Jet 1340A belt drive metalworking lathe.
We did not order the lathe with digital readouts. Now we are
interested in fitting the machine with them. How difficult is it to
install the DRO?
Are there any brands that seem to be better? As far as prices go,
what costs are we looking at? There are some DROs on eBay for less
than $800. Are these junk or are they worth looking at?
