Let's See Your Mill

Thanks sunset   Sure goes both ways. As I have used Dros  also  CNC which is same thing  .

.. Btw  I been using Manual  for years... even use indicators as axis zeros  don't phase me.  A DRO is convenient .
And  Right you are  Tom. Another factor to consider is  with a DRO  s ability to reset you can always move in absolute ,  Zero calculate  re calculate and reset  and NOT have to worry or get error wither re- zero and Lock  on the Dial.  I can get around the back lash as long as I rem when im hurrying things up.. But  saying  %100  over %100  is gona happen when you lock redial and relock  ..  More prone to have an  error.
Amway's the Q here is not to go not to go  with DRO,. JMHO that would be well worth it with it with a bigger machine. The Q is

is the motor equipped  to run on 110V ? will it loose % of HP ?
And is it worth the cost in what I need/ want machine for.? Considering the sacrifice extra costs in borrowing .
